![]() | no time for sleep |
I do not understand how normal people go to bed at a reasonable hour. Honestly. It’s now 10:30 at night. The dishwasher needs to be loaded. (I hear you thinking: skip the dishes! Who cares? Except I will need clean spoons for breakfast in the morning, so the dishwasher’s got to run.) I haven’t showered yet. And I need to spend a little more time revising an essay before I get into bed tonight.
So what have I been doing since the kids fell asleep? Well, making and eating a(nother) meal (yes, I already ate, I wanted to eat AGAIN). Checking and sending email. Did I mention the eating?
So which of these things do I forego in order to get more of the shut-eye? Anyone? Anyone?
Maybe I should forget about the sleep thing. Learn to brew coffee instead.








Here’s one vote for the coffee. I prefer mine black, and not too hot.
Or, learn to send and receive email in your sleep! Or make coffee while sleeping. Ditto on doing the dishes.
Aren’t I helpful?
Heather, on first read I thought you were encouraging me to get my sleep delivered to me via email. And I actually thought, will that help somehow? Can I do that? What will they email me, exactly? And who, who is emailing this sleep?
Then I reread the comment. Now I suspect I need more sleep.
Where’s my coffee, woman?
It’s at Starbucks. Along with MY coffee and also my toffee bar.
Go forth and bring me caffeine, man.
Coffee, coffee, coffee.
Drives me nuts when I wake up in the morning and there are no clean spoons for cereal.
Yes, coffee solves everything!
Skip the coffee. Head straight for the chocolate. It has caffiene too, only you have to eat a ton to get coffee’s equivalent. What a burden…
And chocolate doesn’t go bad as quickly as a cup of coffee!
