I seriously wanted to call in too-tired-to-work today. But, today is Day 1 of the charity booksale that I volunteered to help set up the books for, and I've got a pile o' shit to do here at my desk, and I'm already taking a half day on Friday (it would have been a full day, but the boss is already taking the day off and at least one of us should be here part of the day just in case), so I'm here.
Gronk.
Funny story from last night--I had bought some jumbo marshmallows for snacking earlier this week and opened up the package yesterday to munch on a few. Sure enough, the cat came over to check out what I was eating as she always does, but since 90% of the time, she'll just sniff it and walk away, I was expecting the same reaction. I took a bite out of one and held it out for her to sniff, and she went wild!! She buried her nose in it, licking it, and then tearing bites off. I've never seen her act like that around human food! I only let her have a few nibbles before throwing it away, and she looked like she wanted to follow it into the garbage bin.
That eats up 15 hours, I've never really been able to trim it.
Well, hopefully as the kids get older and are better able to take care of and entertain themselves you'll have more time to take care of you!
Minus exercise, six hours of sleep means I have 21 hours of my day accounted for. It's really, really hard to work in an hour of exercise without dipping into the sleep time.
ACK! That makes me stressy just reading it. My day is booked pretty solid 6:45 - 9. My goal is to add in 30 min of exercise or meditation each day - since I am starting at nothing, an hour would be too much. I am going to try to walk for half an hour at lunch today. I am timing a route.

You know about this, msbelle?

I love it!
I feel guilty now about not doing More! My time outside of work is relatively free.

It's kids, man! They eat up all the time.

One of the things I love now is telling my daughter to just go take a shower. A few years ago baths were actual work. My son is almost there, sometimes he needs help with his hair. Sometimes my wife will take care of that though. Bath time has become much, much easier.
Special for tommyrot:
Heh. What a pretty kitty!
Oh lisa, that is cool. I am going to see how much my daily commute really is. If I beef up my walking pace I might make baby steps on this "in shape" thing without adding anything new to my schedule.
Gud - That really does sound like a rough schedule. I hope the kids help out more and more with their stuff. Reminds me that I need to start laying the ground work this summer for mac to make his own lunches/snacks starting next year, and his laundry duties start next year too - good times.
It's kids, man! They eat up all the time.
But they are a lot of fun too. Certainly they make life more interesting.
