Almost went to jail tonight.

Money was really tight this week with getting the kids their costumes and stuff for Halloween and replacing my wife's tire.
I am extremely tired. I still can't sleep.
Got the kids did our usually routine for the evening. I was so tired. I called my wife to see if she'd come get them.
She said no i told you to get your shit together.

I priced a uber to get them home but like i said im broke.

I drove them home. I ask my wife if i can crash on the couch for 30 minutes. She tells me to leave.

On the way back to my place i had to stop. I couldn't see straight. I pulled over to rest my eyes just for a few minutes. Next thing i know a cop is knocking on my car window. Im told to get out of the car. He thinks im drunk trying to sleep it off.

I try to explain but my tics and outbursts kick in.
He of course gets upset and cuffs me. I beg him to call my friend who is a police officer as well. Thank god he was on duty. He's known me since middle school. He helped clear things up. He gave me a ride home while the other office drove me car home.

He lectures me about how driving tired is just as bad as driving under the influence. And next time i won't be so lucky.

Something has got to give. I need sleep.
