I've got blogitis or "Thank Heavens for Diet Coke"

Doctor, I think there is something wrong with me. I mean outside of all the normal complaints and kookiness. You see, my toddler has been sick for 5 days now with a fever that goes up to 103 degrees, extreme congestion, and overall general crankiness. The only way he sleeps (day or night) is if he is propped up on my arm or on my chest, and then he snores like a little old man, so then, of course, I can't sleep. Early this morning, at 2 a.m., when I had had about 15 minutes of sporadic sleep, and Nathan was finally sleeping peacefully after waking his Daddy up to give him a blessing, I should have finally been sleeping, right? I mean, any normal, fatigued mommy of 3 who hadn't slept in 4 nights would have zonked out immediately and gratefully. But, doctor, this is how I know that something is wrong with me, because, instead of sleeping, I lay awake thinking of what to blog next! Do you have previous reports of blogitis and how is it treated? Is there any hope for me? Should I stop sleeping next to the beautiful, shiny purple laptap my husband is probably regretting giving to me for Mother's Day? Should I stop drinking so much Diet Coke to fuel my days after so many sleepless nights (please say no, I don't think I could live without my stocked Diet Coke fridge in the garage)? Is there any help for my condition? I beg for your help.
