I am exhausted. I wish I could say that I am coherent at the moment. All that keeps me on the fringe of consciousness is my diet cherry coke.
My husband just got a new job, hence the absence and the exhaustion. I work days; he works evenings. So our days seem a little more like single-parenting than we'd like. We'll just say that an adjustment period is upon us for the time being. Hopefully, we will adjust quickly and things will even out soon. I hope.
Things at work are amping up. Towards the end of the year there are new things to pick up and learn that I haven't initially been trained in because well, they're only done once a year. I have a business trip next week, and other important things coming up.
And it is fall, so Halloween is nearly upon us. This evens it out for me, though it does add a certain level of stress in trying to fit in the family fun activities; like going to a pumpkin patch, getting costumes ready, decorating the house, and trying to remember all the stories and movies I watched at this time of year when I was growing up.
Let's just say I'm trying to take this one day at a time, on an average of 4 hours of sleep. This is truly a difficult feat for me as I'm a hibernator. I am one who enjoys snuggling deep within my cave of blankets and sleeping through the deep of night and into the warmth of morning. I relish my sleep, and at the moment, I envy its dreams and peaceful breathing. It soothes my soul, calms my nerves, and keeps me levelheaded.
Needless to say, on four hours of sleep average for the past week or so, I've been a bit short with my girls. It's annoying to not be able to control that snap attitude that blasts out of me when the girls act like, well, the little children they are.
But here I am, now rambling at you, and basically trying to say that this gibberish is my attempt at adding inspiration and creativity into my day. It's been filled with everything else so far, and I think it required a little color on top.
Have a good evening, everyone! I hope to return soon, with more rest in my bones, and a better tale to spin.
