Running on Fumes.
September 17, 2007 – 12:10 pmWe are entering a phase of exhaustion I haven’t visited for awhile.
Fish feeds in the night 2:00am
Thing 1 up 3:10am
And it rotates every hour until about 8 am when thing 2 gets up.
I have been going to bed around 9-10 pm (Usually before Thing 1 is asleep) Just to get 4 straight hours of sleep at best.
Then I am mean, cranky, and a walking health hazard all the next day. I need to put in place a schedule. It seems like the answer. But the fog is so thick I think I am defaulting to that answer for everything.
"The dishes need to be done"
I need a schedule.
"The toilet paper needs to be retrieved from the hall closet."
I need a schedule.
"We are out of milk"
I need a schedule.
I could write down all these things I need to do and solve it all with a schedule. Then it would be all written down and I would put it somewhere…..and never look at it or find it again.
That then leads to the cleaning phase of the day that usually hits around 11am. Where I discover if I clean things I find things I have been looking for.
This leads me to the thought of cleaning the pit of dispair, and sucker of all energy….. the garage. If I can’t see it it doesn’t exist. This is where I stash CRAP of all shapes, sizes and types. You name it it is probably hiding in the garage. I honnestly can spend hours getting distracted in there. There are so many things I have put into boxes years ago and don’t have a clue what is in them. It is like Christmas. Opening a package and finding something you actually thought was worth packing in a box four years ago.
What I need to do is have a yard sale. We’ll have one of those and then work on a schedule. LOL.

Now wait… why do we have kids again? I keep forgetting, no joke!

Oh, I remember going through the nights of a different kid waking up every hour… It goes away. Spider is finally a year, and now she’s the only one that wakes up at night…
We’re working on it. Hang in there.

Did I write this? Oh, no you did. But you must have been writing it for me. Everything from the no sleep, and messy garage to the thinking I need a schedule. That’s me this week. It’ll get easier soon, right?
Here’s wishing us both a nap!

I’m so with you. I feel like I am woken up at least 10 times a night by a cat or a kid. I swear I am tireder (is this a word I’m to tired to figure it out) when I wake up than when I go to be.

Yet if like many women you really would like to own a pair of these boots then there are a number of things that you may want to try.
