I was not feeling well, I over slept and I was late for work…

Last night I tried my best to sleep early after reading Juliana’s post about sleeping. I went to bed at 11:00 PM but I was waiting for hubby coz I can’t want to sleep with the lights on. So while waiting for hubby, I picked up the O magazine and read some of the articles in there. I finally went to sleep at maybe 12:30 AM. But I suddenly woke up at around 2:00 AM; I can’t understand what I feel coz I wanted to sleep again but my mind was occupied of what happened recently at work, whether I said something wrong or the right words. I am sometimes like that coz there are times where I say the wrong words and after thinking about what I said, I realized that I said the wrong words that might hurt others feelings. Then I felt that the room was hot so at 3:00 AM I told hubby about the temperature of the room and he lower it down for me. But he was wondering coz 75 deg is still cold for me but not this dawn, even if he lowered it into 70 deg I still feel hot. Hubby thought that maybe I’m sick so he told me to take my temperature to make sure. I didn’t have a fever but my body was so warm. I just keep on sighing and force myself to sleep again but still I can’t. I was hungry after 2 hrs of thinking and so I get up and took a snack. I then heard my phone beeps so I checked. It was a text message from Philippines, a relative of mine who asked me of when I come back to the Philippines coz they miss me and the last words were asking for a Christmas present which she said "just a cheap cell phone". She also said that I don’t need to send the cell phone right away, maybe after a couple of years when it’s ready. I never asked anybody to send me something not unless they are very close to me or if a person close to me will ask me if they want to give me a present. And if I do ask, I also want to pay for it, not for free. So receiving a text message asking for something gets on my nerves. I don’t want to barter love with money. As what I understand it, when somebody said "I love you and I miss you" and ask something that involves money, the love and miss is not true. The true "I love you and I miss you" doesn't ask anything from you but hoping and wishing that you are okay knowing that you are very far from your family. Living here in USA means spending also in dollars and not in pesos. Money don't grow in trees here or can be found on the road. You have to work hard first before you get it. That’s why I prefer not to communicate with them coz I can only hear two things whenever I call, they always have no money and they always have a problem which after talking to them, I can’t sleep thinking about what they tell me and hubby also can’t sleep trying to comfort me. Anyways, after reading the text message and eating my snack I then went to bed. I told hubby about it and we talked a little bit then after I finish venting I sleep at maybe 5:30 AM. I woke up at 8:49 AM and my work is 9:00 AM. Waaaaaa I was dreaming that I was already in the Philippines. I don’t know what to do knowing that I have to drive 15 mins to work and I need to take a shower and everything. So hubby suggests calling work that I’ll be late for an hour. I did call work as soon as I get up and tried to go work ASAP. No questions asked why I was late when I arrived then I start to work right away. Haha This afternoon, after work I checked my YM and received an offline messages from my sister telling me of another problem from our business in Cebu. Oh boy, I think that’s the reason why I wasn’t able to go back to sleep right away coz somebody is thinking about me and most of the times, if I feel what I feel last night, it’s always a bad news even with the thousand miles apart, I can feel it. (Sigh)
