what happened to the cartoons?- long rant

So it is early on a Saturday morning, and instead of sleeping in like a normal person who goes to bed at midnight and is on vacation (this normal person is Em), I have pretty much been awake all morning... and I can not make myself go back to sleep.
so here is how it happened. I have been pretty congested in my chest ever since we landed in Arizona. In fact, as we stepped out of the airport into the parking garage, I started to feel like my throat was dry and it was a little hard to get my lungs all the way filled. I didn't take much notice of it at the time, probably because I was so excited to be home in this brown land that we live in, but in retrospect I see that that is the first place that my breathing was troubled. Gracie had a hard time falling asleep that night(Wednesday) and so I stayed up with her for a while. but it was really hard for me to fall asleep because I could not get comfortable and my breathing was weird. Thursday night was much the same thing, except that I did not try to fall asleep until after one o'clock, because that is when Emi came home. Gracie woke up in the middle of the night again for about two hours and after I figured out she is still teething, I got her to go back to sleep and I figured out that I could no longer speak in a normal voice (because of the congestion, I feel like I have lost my voice, but my throat doesn't hurt or anything, and I don't have a cough, but I can hack up some nasty goo if I want to clear my throat. Last night we had a dinner with some old friends from Mesa High, and although I didn't talk a whole lot, I really enjoyed myself and wish I could have talked more, we were home at around 8:00. We went to bed around11:00, and I couldn't get comfortable for almost an hour and then Grace woke up and Then I fell asleep until three, at which point I tried everything that I could think of to try and clear my lungs so I could feel like I could breath ( my chief complaint) and go back to sleep. I finally put Vick's Vaporub on my neck, and I was comfortable breathing almost immediately and I dozed for a while after that until 5 when my mind woke up the rest of my body and I discovered that there is nothing good on TV for early morning cartoons anymore. Kids these days don't know what they are missing. Remember GI Joe and He-man and Thundercats? I would wake up early every Saturday to watch those cartoons and there wasn't even anything entertaining on today at all.
Well, Gracie woke up about 45 minutes ago, and wants my complete attention so I will finish up with a sleep tally for the last seven days
Saturday night- 7 hours
Sunday night - 4 hours
Monday night- 5 hours
Tuesday night- 6 hours
Wednesday night-5 hours
Thursday night- 5 hours
Friday night- maybe 4 hours
total 38 hours- and I am on vacation!
my normal total=between 49 and 63, so if I seem agitated or irrational, it is not you, it is me. So please be understanding.
