Why Are You So Tired?

I fell asleep during my niece's birthday party like an old man after Thanksgiving dinner Sunday. Not just once but a couple of times. I got caught and someone asked, "Why are you so tired?"

Of course the way my mind works I thought way too much about the question. Here is my answer.

I get up every morning at 6 and watch Spongebob with Rachel. We talk about the dreams we had last night (Hers are just as goofy as mine) and we repeat the lines on Spongebob because we have seen every episode at least 99 times.

Then I wake up everyone else up. Get myself and Cameron ready. She is fighting the whole time and does not want to brush her teeth. We argue about that every morning. Leave around 7:30, she talks 100 miles an hour all the way to school. Chunk her in the daycare and slide into work at 8, ok most of the time it is 8:06.

Lunch break I am doing the stuff I don't have time to do during the week. Pick up groceries, run home to do something that is on my mind, or even schedule doctor appointments, etc. Softball season cranks up soon so I will have to skip lunch and leave work early to have her on the field in time.

5 I run out the back door of work like a scalded dog, rushing to pick up Cameron before the daycare hits me with a late charge. I listen to her cry all the way home because she wants me to look at something while I am driving down the road, I am not playing "her song" on the radio or wants me to open something.

Hit the door and cook supper, eat, dunk everyone in the tub, edit, place orders, wash some clothes, clean the kitchen. The best thing I ever did was hire a housekeeper!

My goal is to be in bed every night by 10. I don't know why I have this goal cause I never get to bed at that time.

I don't even want to get into the weekend schedule.

I have a secret dream schedule though. Volunteering at the school, painting again, taking clients during the week, start working on my journal of 100 things, walk at the park every morning, baby this list could go on and on. It keeps me smiling for some reason even though I never get to do those things. It almost seem sometimes like I am working to get to that dream schedule and it never happens. I want to start doing at least one thing from my dream schedule. It will definitely have to be a small something to work it in. Do you have a dream schedule? Something you would love to do during the day if you had an extra hour, 15 minutes, 5 minutes?

Think about it. I sit down every night at 10 and watch Will and Grace. I could skip that. I have seen them all. That's an extra 30 minutes right? Or should I go ahead and sit down for 30 minutes and take it easy? I hear alot of people say if I just had more time. Definitely something to chew on...Until then
