Cat nap



Today I got up at 7, reluctantly after I got to bed extra late...  1:45am...  it was a tough night on the floor.  I drove all the kids to school, then I went to my other job.  I tutored three students on endocrine. At least its a subject I really get, so its easier to help with.  Then I headed over to Connections for Wes' progress review and Taylor's goal review.  Two hours later, Ava had fallen asleep sitting in the chair, so I carried her out to the car.  When we got home, she laid down on the couch, I swallowed some food and hit the garden.  My planting schedule is already off since we got snow so late in the season.  I planted and watered, and when I came in it was time to go pick up the other kids from school.  So I rustled Ava, and off we went to pick up Taylor and Alivya.  At Connections I picked up Wes and dropped off Taylor.

When I got home this time I was just out of energy.  I thought I would slip upstairs and lay down for a few minutes.  Jon was due home in about a half hour, so I thought I could afford a few minutes.  The next thing I remembered was Jon crawling up next to me in bed and listening to him snore.  I dozed.

Then I heard Wes clambering up the stairs "Dad!!! Dad!!! Dad!!!". Jon rolled over and I opened my eyes... "what time is it?"

"After 5, We've been up here an hour," says Jon.

Speak for yourself...  how did I get so tired?
