Gassed

Alright, running around for appointments. groceries, and playing outside for almost an hour has officially kicked my ass.  I'm just flopped out in the basement with the kids listening to music and Brogan yelling into a mike that's hooked up to the TV.  If I try to ingest any more stimulants at this point I'm pretty much just risking getting a good nights sleep, and you already know how important sleep is to me.  I'm hoping to catch my second wind here shortly so I can muster up the juice to make supper.  Someone help me.

Mornings

I've been a morning person for most of my life and being a firefighter  definitely helped develop that side of me.  For a while there I wasn't getting to bed early enough so I'd try to 'sleep in' until 7 but that just wasn't working.  I like to get up around 6, which gives me an hour to myself and to get ready for the day.  Sleep is so important, which is why babies do so much of it.  I bet we could blame lack of sleep on a vast amount of health issues prevalent these days.

Today is going to be unique and busy because Brogan has two separate appointments with specialists in different parts of the city.  Thursdays are usually a quieter day with the kids going to the day home but that ain't happening so I have to get the me time in now because that's pretty much all I'll get today.  Deeeeep breath.  The madness begins in about 14 minutes...
