I’m so upset. I slept through NKs performance

I have insomnia- it’s mostly under control but when I’m sick, during season changes, when my schedule is thrown off or during high stress times- it flares. I have meds for it, but I don’t love taking them so I stupidly try not to. I wait until it’s really really bad and then will take them.

This week has been pretty rough sleep wise. It hasn’t been the worst week ever, but I’ve been falling asleep pretty late. Well it all caught up to my this morning when I slept through my alarm.

I don’t work Fridays, but was supposed to go to NKs (7) school because she was singing a solo in front of her entire school. She’s been practicing at school, and after school one day a week for a month.

I woke up 10 minutes after it started. I feel horrible!!!! My only reprieve was that I thought hadn’t told her I was coming. Except I just remembered on the way out last night I said “see you tomorrow morning!” And she was so excited.

I immediately texted MB and told her what happened and asked for a video but I feel horrible!!! The school is 20 mins away from my house so I debated just jumping up and rushing there, but I wouldn’t have made it. It’s just a weekly meeting they do, and each week they pick one or two kids to showcase their talent, so it’s only a 20ish minute ordeal. There’s also only a few parking spots on a very big campus so by the time I parked I would’ve been walking 10+ minutes to make it there. I still debated going because at least I might see NK at the end and maybe could’ve passed it off as I was there, but they don’t let the kids see their people after. They just go right back to class. I’ve been so excited for this all week. NK loves singing and has since she was like 3. When she was 4ish I remember talking to DB and saying NK would either be a famous pop star, or president. She has such a big personality.
