Entry FeedOK. I wasn't being completely honest yesterday when I was complaining about exhaustion. Really, I know exactly why I am so tired.
I can't fall asleep, and I am not used to waking up.
Most of the summer I sort of got to sleep in. Now, I have to get up, and get three kids ready and out the door. It isn't that much work, I am just not used to it.
I am also not sleeping well. I'm not sure why. I just can't seem to fall asleep. I stick to 2-3 caffeinated sources a day, and don't drink coffee after 2 pm. Apparently caffeine has an eight hour half-life - who knew?
I have also bitten off an awful lot for September. I have volunteered to help run Son One's house league... Sunday night I inputted 120 names and email addresses. I still have my women's hockey - that started last night. Now I will be going TWICE a week. And then there is my three times a week bootcamp at 6 AM (must have been drunk when I agreed to that one). Oh, and tonight I start Ballet.
I guess this fall I decided instead of over-booking the kids, I would over-book myself. My motivation was the seven summer pounds. Goal - gone my Thanksgiving.
Tonight, after Ballet, I think I may take a gravol to help me fall asleep. Nothing like self-medicating. On the plus side, I am also out of Diet Coke, so maybe if I don't buy anymore, that will help too.
