...of habit. I like my routine, and and I get very anxious when that routine is interrupted. This is the week that Junior started working the 4am-1pm shift at work. This wouldn't be a problem for most people, but for me, it means even less sleep than I was getting before.
I have a system...with my ecards and my paid posts. This system works for me...it has become my routine...and I like it. Unfortunately, it means I am up until 1:15am most morning. Then I go to bed, sleep four hours, get the kids to school, sleep a couple of more hours, and then get up and face the day.
Junior can not wake up to an alarm clock. This means whenever he needs to get up for work...everyday...I have to get up and make sure he gets up. So last night, my goal was to just stay up until 2am, get Junior up, go to bed for 3 hours, get the kids up, sleep for a few more hours, then face the day. This worked okay, but by 10:30 I was tired, so I did all the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and scrubbed the bathroom. By 12:30 I couldn't keep my eyes open, and I was only halfway through dropping, so I just went to bed, set the alarm for 2:15, got up then and woke up Junior, went back to bed, got up at 5:15, got the kids ready and off to school, laid back down AGAIN, and was woken up by the phone at 9.
This isn't working for me! I need to figure something out where I can get more sleep...
