Hump Day

I'm really tired. Since the beginning of this week, I've been getting up earlier than usual to begin the commute by bus in order to report to work by 7AM. Once I'm free to leave for the day (between 5 and 6PM), I've been getting caught up in the daily routines of cooking dinner, cleaning up, preparing lunches for the next day, etc. From the minute I walk through the front door to my house, there's work waiting to be done.

By the time I'm finished with my domestic responsibilities, and am free to do whatever I want to do, it's usually after 9:00 at night. Often, all I have the energy for is a quick 30 minute TV program with my wife and jotting down entries in this blog before heading off to bed. My days are beginning to run together.

I tip my hat to those who do this each and every day. I don't understand how people with families can flourish on little sleep, work full time, take care of the house, feed the kids, clean up, work out, volunteer and still have time to catch up on the latest showing of American Idol. These people amaze me (you know who you are).

Good Night
