Now all I have left to do is get my butt in gear and organize a yard sale to get rid of the rest of the stuff, and then I will have room in my dining room for – gasp! – a dining room table!!! I suppose the first step there is to figure out where I’m going to have it…
I know I haven’t written in awhile and one of the two people that read my blog has complained (quit nagging me, Mom!). My daughter started high school a few weeks ago, and I’m afraid the experience may be the death of me. Not only does she seem to have a lot more homework than last year, but school starts almost an hour earlier – at 7:25 am. Those of you who know me know that I am NOT A MORNING PERSON. I’ve been trying hard to get used to the new routine, but that 5:45 am alarm is just awful. I’ve gotten myself into this cycle that I can’t seem to break. I get up way too early, and am pretty much exhausted all day long. I did get an earlier schedule at work out of this, which is nice when I get to leave on time. (Hasn’t happened yet, but I’m hopeful!) We usually get home around 5 or 5:30, and I am at my most tired from then until around 7 or 8. (If I make the mistake of being still for any length of time, I fall asleep) After that, I seem to get my second wind, and even if I do manage to avoid an evening nap, by the time bedtime rolls around, I am wide awake. I go to bed sometime between 10 and 11pm, typically wake up at least 2 or 3 times during the night, and then wake up exhausted again!
Only 3 years and 8 months or so to go!!
