I am soooo tired....

A friend of mine blogged the other day about their hectic schedule and it really made me think...

My husband gets so upset with me because i am tired all of the time...i was starting to think i had something medically wrong with me, because i absolutely have NO energy, but the more i think, i am just worn out...my life...

for the past three weeks we have gone out of town every weekend, leaving Friday right after work and not returning until late Sunday evening...two weeks ago we actually went on vacation for 5 days, nothing but exhaustion...

This past weekend with all the drama of my sister, and going to the beach, i absolutely could not go anymore, i demanded to come home, which is not like me, i love to travel and do fun things, but i just couldnt, i just wanted to sit in the floor and cry...lol

this morning in one of my few moments of quiet i sat down to think, what is my schedule, it is something like this...

5:30 wake up, take a shower start a load of laundry, 6:00 get my three kids out of bed, which usually consists of physically picking up, and undressing my 5 and 8 year old and placing them in the tub to get dressed, i have to practically beat my 11 year old, he is as big as me, so i cant pick him up...6:30 make sure they are dressed, fed, have all their homework and papers together for school, 6:40 walk them to the bus stop...6:50 walk back to the house, get ready, flip the load of clothes from the washer to the dryer and turn it on...7:10 walk out the door for work...8:00 arrive at work to deal with morons...1:30 lunch...i race across town half of the week to lunch with my hubby then i race back...get off at 5:00, go home, arrive at home 5:45...start homework, get settled in, start dinner, the kids go out and play until dark, we eat about 7:00...i clean while they start baths...8:00 start putting them to bed...maybe watch tv for few minutes and sneak in a load of laundry...at 8:45 start threatening to take the tv and playstation out of the boys room to get them to sleep, rock kimmy..she is five, does this end...NO!!! finally 9:30 they are all asleep, tv time for me...but i fall asleep around 10:00 usually...ughhhh!!!! i need more energy...i try to stay up later to spend quality time with my hubby, or watch tv...i used to stay up until midnight and still get all this done, now, i just cannot do it...my body will not let me...

the weekends are a joke, get up in the wee hours of the morning...clean clean clean...the kids get up at 7:30 to get ready for bowling at 10:00 we are there until 12:00 then it is family time, all day...back home late at night, more cleaning...then bed...sunday wee hours again, more cleaning, more family time...no rest...

So, i mention to my husband last night that i am exhausted and think we should stay home this weekend and rest...uh, no...we have plans...ughh!!!!
