I'm sitting here drinking sickeningly sweet cappuccino and falling asleep. How can this happen with all that sugar and caffeine? By all scientific evidence, I should be running around my house talking a mile a minute. Yet all I can think about is a nap. Maybe it's because I got up at 5:30 a.m. and stayed us when I usually go back to sleep between 6:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m. It is now 10:47 a.m. I've been up 5 hours when normally I would only be up 3 hours. I'm short 2 hours sleep. That's it.
I have to go to the bank or I would take a nap now. I have to go to the store too. Maybe I'll take one after lunch and before I have to pick up the kids from school at 3:15 p.m. Ha, ha, ha.
I am the luckiest woman on earth. I have a husband who is a custodian at a High School. He hates the way I sweep, mop and vacuum. So he does it. He used to do my bathroom too, until my son learned how to clean one at camp. He came home and asked to clean ours! We even bought him his own cleaning supplies. And make no mistake, we mustask to borrow them. He's very posessive about his Windex! My daughter has a thing for emptying trash cans. They must have gotten this from Dad, "cause I hate to clean. This leaves me a lot of time to wash clothes and dishes. And it's a good thing too. These three people dirty more clothing and dishes than any army I've ever seen.
I have this laundry basket that has 3 sections in it. One for white clothes, one for colors, and one for darks. This is not a hard thing. Yet, my brain damaged family can't figure out what goes where. If they take off something grey, look in the basket, it ends up in the whites. They take off something white, look in the basket and see something grey in the colors slot, they put the white thing in the colors with the grey thing. When did grey stop being a color? They're makin' me nuts!
Well, let me see, it is now 4:43 p.m. I still haven't gotten the nap. And it's not lookin' good for later either. I have dishes to wash, clothes to wash, dinner to prepare, clothes to separate and fold and put away. What do you think? 1:30 a.m.? Yeah, that's what I think too. It's gonna be a long night.
