I am really tired!







I have been really tired lately. I think it all has to do with winter dragging on for so long, but the biggest reason is that I haven't gotten much sleep in the past 2 weeks. I have been covering for one of my co-workers at the bakery that is on vacation, and I have had to go into work between 12:30am and 2:30am for the past 8 of 9 days. I am a huge night owl. I would love to stay up all night and then sleep during the day if I really had my wish. The worst part of that is that I have a real hard time falling asleep when I have to will myself to do it. So, I don't sleep. The most sleep I got this week at any one time was yesterday when I slept after I got off of work between 12:30pm and 4pm. I set my alarm for 2pm and I slept right thru it. Needless to say I had to stay up later to finish the homework I had for the next day, so my nights sleep amounted to pretty much nothing. I woke up this morning at 2am with my cat Ruby sleeping on my chest and my husband snuggled up against me, and I did not want to get up!!! I had to will myself to get out of the warm covers and go to work. At work I am normally a pretty outgoing person and I like to get people talking and at least stay focused, but this morning I felt like I was having an ouy of body experience, where I watched myself go thru the movements of the job and it somehow got done. I hate that feeling, it's really wierd. Blah!Thank goodness I am off this weekend, it is going to be so great!!!

I really hate to see my Baby so drained. Even though you're taking some homework with you, I think this little vaca of ours will do you good. You'll get to relax and enjoy the company of dear friends, saty up late like you enjoy, stay in bed until you feel like getting up, all without worrying about work at all. I can't wait to see your real smile (not the forced one for my benefit) again.

I know how that is with the sleep. I constantly have to force myself to sleep and when I can't it affects job performance BIG time, oh and that lovely thing we call school work!
Hope you have a great day as well as your husband!
