Relaxing...my foot.

So the boys are in Texas right now so that should mean that I have all this time to just relax when I go home from work. Yeah, right. For some reason, a break from the boys means time to get a bunch of things done. Of course, the one thing that I am not getting done is resting.

Sunday afternoon, I played on the computer a little bit (played the Sims). Then I worked on and finished my wedding photo album (if you are getting married, STACIE, don't have kids before you get your album done because then it may take you forever to finish it). Then I did the regular stuff that I do: picking up the house, preparing for work Monday, etc.

On Monday, I worked the regular day (even though it wasn't really regular because the kids weren't there), and then after school I had to run home quick and change and freshen up before heading to my other school for conferences for another 4 hours. While I was there, I was talking with the school psych and she told me that I should go home and rest because I deserved it, as all the teachers who had worked a 12 hour day did. But did I do that? Not so much. I went home and I did sit and watch Heroes. So that was my 'rest' time. Then I went downstairs to put away a pile of clothes on the dresser. Then I proceeded to empty that dresser so that I could move it into Lukin's room so that he has a dresser so he isn't always dragging his clothes out from the baskets they are currently in. This took a little over an hour. Then I tried to find something to wear for conferences today that looked okay and was warm enough for the icebox that is my classroom, got myself ready for bed and was in bed by 11:15-ish.

So needless to say, I am sleepy today because when the boys are home I am usually in bed between 10:00 and 10:15-ish. Without them home, I should be able to get more sleep, but not so much. Of course, you probably know what I mean. You start to do something which leads to another thing to do, and then another, and then another, etc., etc. And just so you know, I have 9 things that I want to get done before I go to bed tonight. With getting out at noon today, hopefully, I will be able to get this all done and go to bed before 11:00.
