She's sooo tired

The previous week caught up with me today. Yesterday was full of activity and I managed to get a lot of work done around here. Today? Not so much. My behind has been draggin’ all day long.

I may be among the few in this day and age who not only requires, but usually gets a solid eight hours of sleep at night. But summer is here and the lad is home with the screwiest work schedule I’ve ever seen. One day he works until nearly midnight and the next morning he has to be at work by 8:00...with a 20 minute commute. Needless to say there isn’t an 8 hour stretch in there for sleep. It’s been like that all week. My schedule has been more or less turned on its head.

I am so ready for a holiday tomorrow. After I fetch the lad home in a couple of hours, I’m going to crash and nobody had better knock on the front door or ring the phone until noon tomorrow. By that time, I should have the news read, a shower out of the way, two cups of coffee down the hatch, and a hummingbird or two watched. Then I’ll be approachable. That’s the goal, anyway.

That’s probably not how it’s going to work, though. Kids are exhausting.
