The Art Of Chaos

Today, my day started at 6:45... and won't end until probably close to midnight. I'm exhausted most days and I'm not sure how I even manage to do it sometimes. Here is just a peek into what my days are like:

6:45 - wake up, wake princess up, get us both bathed, groomed, dressed, fed
8:15 - rush out of the house, running late almost every day (even though I get up 30 minutes earlier than I used to, I still end up at work at the same time... go figure.)
8:30 - drop princess with her babysitter, drive to work
8:50 - walk in the door at work, allows me some time to check Facebook and email
9:00 - start my day of tedious work
(I don't take a lunch break, I just snack while I work so that I get my full 40 hours)
*I also want to add that sometimes I am by myself, which I have time to spare... but when my boss is here, I am running up and down the stairs, and doing just about everything you could think of... these are the days where I am truly worn out.
5:00 - leave work, head straight to school on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
*School doesn't start until 6, so I try to study and catch up on homework and lessons
8:30 - leave school, head home
8:45 - I come home to normally a messy house; I end up cleaning, doing dishes, laundry, and sometimes cooking if hubby and princess haven't ate already. If I'm done and it's not too late, I check my emails again and study/do a little homework.
Depending on what time it is, I might be able to catch up on a show or two with hubby before we go to bed. This brings us to about midnight... and I start all over the next morning.

Thursdays and Fridays I go straight from work to pick up the princess, get home around 6 and those days feel like holidays for me... I don't know what to do with my spare time. Oh wait, more laundry, dishes, cleaning, and making dinner... ha ha ha.

My weekends are filled with more of the same things... along with food shopping, etc. Only problem here is that I'm anemic... I have very low iron and so I'm ALWAYS tired.

So how do I get through it, you ask? Aleve, NoDoz, and Gatorade are my best friends... I have all three by my side at all times. I have tried energy drinks... but they seem to have bad effects on me, so I stick with my winning trio.

Maybe I should start bringing a sleeping bag and pillow to work... I could curl up and take a midday lunch nap like a preschooler ha ha ha!

Oh, how sweet a nap sounds right now... sigh... maybe one day I can take a vacation by myself and spend the whole time sleeping LOL

Hugs and lots of Z's
