Quick Update

July 28th, 2015 at 04:38 pm

I was tossing and turning this morning, worried that my alarm wouldn't go off and I'd sleep in. When I checked the time it was 4am and only half an hour until I was supposed to get up. For future reference, it is never a good idea to get up at that time. I thought I'd have lots of time to relax before leaving. Well, that only works if you're organised. I couldn't find my watch, so I was quietly searching for it. Inanimate objects don't care that it's practically the middle of the night; they'll fall off the table onto the shredder below. Sshh! Nobody woke up, thankfully.

Got to work and two people hadn't shown up. Ugh. One appeared later, looking worse for wear. He was away two hours later.

When I finished I decided I deserved a reward for surviving. I bought a cheesecake, and a meal for two because I knew I'd have no motivation to cook for us later.

I put ten on w Christmas savings card. If I can save 97 by Nov I'll get three pounds added, highly unlikely.

Spent 26.xx although ten was savings.

Both kids were asleep when I came home, so I had lunch then went for a nap.

Cheesecake later

    Sarah, are you working 6 AM - noon? You already know that the easiest way to manage all your roles, wife, mom, daughter, homemaker, cook, financial officer [home], shopper and problem solver is to write a routine and convince yourself it's written in stone. What tasks are delegated to DH?

    I promise you, it's easier, less frustrating and makes everyone love you even more.

    I hate that feeling of knowing you have to get up and not being able to sleep. Sending you lots of strength and stamina. And as our friends as Tesco say (with the savings) "Every little helps."

    @snafu: yes. Other than looking after the kids, nothing.
    @MEC: me too. Thanks.

    I had a night where I couldn't sleep recently too. Not fun! Glad a nap worked out. Smile

    The last two nights I've actually slept all night almost up to my alarm! It's been very nice, since that hadn't happened for at least 3 1/2 weeks. At least I don't have to worry about waking anyone up when I'm stirring in the way too early morning hours.
