Note: Contains some TMI parts.  Sorry about that.

Oh hell.  Here it is… 4 in the freaking morning, and what the HELL am I doing awake?  I got four hours of sleep last night, managed to get through the day (cleaning) without taking a nap… LOTS of dr pepper was drank to achieve that, I must say.  So I got to sleep at around 10, only to have my DEAR, DEAR husband wake me up just after midnight wanting what any man wants from his wife on a Saturday night.  Granted, it was planned.  But it ended up being a nap, and here I am, wakeful.  I did some more laundry.  I’ve done nothing BUT laundry today, plus put away dishes, clean Sammi’s room up (just in case the early education person wants to have a look at it during the intake)  I guess the woman coming on Tuesday is NOT the speech pathologist, she’s coming next Monday.  She could have come this Monday at 3:30, which I told her was fine, however… (and isn’t there ALWAYS a however in my house?), the other girls would be home, and the 6 year old, who has speech issues of her own, would probably have a LOT of interest in what was going on.  She hemmed a little at that, and said it might be better to do it at a later date before the other kids got home.  I told her, Yea.  So she couldn’t do it for another week.  Oh well.  So the intake happens on Tuesday, and the speech therapist comes on the next Monday.  So I have tomorrow and Monday to finish getting the house cleaned up and de-cluttered, and finish the jobs the girls did not finish.  I asked Shabree to clean the downstairs bathroom, and she did a half assed job (as usual), so I will PROBABLY have to show her how to do it properly.  I THINK she knows, but maybe she needs a refresher?  Seems like it anyway.  

The time change caught me by surprise.  I didn’t realize it was tonight.  I just looked at the clock, and it was an hour later than it had been (my alarm clock updates automatically… it is SO cool.) plus I looked at Syd’s clock, and it was an hour behind.  I thought, wow, it seems kind of early for that to happen, but I seem to remember that they moved it back three weeks in the Spring.  This country will do ANYTHING if it means more profit, children and farmers be damned.  Not that I seriously care THAT much.  It just seems early.  Now in the Fall, it was annoying as hell, because it took an hour of trick or treating away from Halloween!  Now, THAT sucked.  And on a Friday, too.  Tsk, tsk.

I just wonder how much sleep am I going to get?  And how much can I really go on?  I don’t know how happy I will be "tomorrow" if I have only had 4 hours of sleep again, but I don’t even FEEL sleepy.  Of course… it never helps to be in front of the computer.  I should go work.  THAT’LL make me sleepy!  HA. Why couldn’t the man just have a BIT of compassion?  Oh yea, because he NEVER gets sex.  It’s one of those things I have to work on.  I don’t MIND it, but I don’t think about it… no hormonal urges, you know?  I’m still nursing, and I haven’t had a cycle in over a year and a half, which has been nice, but yea, it doesn’t exactly lead to me being overly interested.  Not that I have much of a drive to begin with.  Screwed up childhood to thank for that.  Still… I can’t help but think, I can’t remember the last time I got a FULL night’s sleep.  That’s how little THAT happens.  Sigh.  Oh well, I would have had to get up at some point to feed Alex anyway.  Sigh.

I’m hungry too.  Food might help.  Maybe a simple cheese stick.  Sometimes getting the blood sugar back up helps kick in the circadium rhythm… I don’t know why it works, only that it works.

Yea, think I’ll try that.  I really ought to work on the laundry though.  Until I am just ready to drop.
