The fool am I.

I had a long, tiring day. Though I'm not sure why I'm tired. I went to bed at a reasonable time. Woke up fairly early and did some exercise. Today wasn't any different than any other.

Yet, as I read books to my son after lunch, I could barely keep my eyes open. And despite the sleep and exercise, I was dragging my feet throughout the day.

So even as I post this, one might wonder why I'm still awake. Perhaps it's because I find too many things to distract me once the kids are in bed. It's not usually tv, but rather the computer, or the usual odds and ends that I can never get to during the day. The quest for missing socks. The removal of old toenail polish. A photo or two to tinker with.

At any rate, my mood has improved since the late evening when the older two kids went to bed (with emphasis on LATE because I wasn't watching the time). I was so looking forward to idle conversation, and even waited up for it. But it never came. Why didn't I just go to bed?

Now I'm just left wondering. Oh well. Stupid me.

I hope tomorrow's a better day. Get those kids to bed super-early (I LIVE for after kids' bedtime sometimes!) and plan an evening just for yourself... reading, a bubble bath, surfing the net, whatever takes your fancy.

Remember that lack of sleep leads to weight gain...not loss. It has something to do with body chemistry... so be sure to get to bed on time.

I can't run on a few hours of sleep any longer. I simply cannot function, not to mention I'm majorly crabby! lol.

But IF I am going to stay up, I need to do something worthwhile, as jellyhead said. Otherwise I should be sleeping.

Blah, never again. It's SO not worth it.
