Sleepless on Long Island

It is 5:27am est. What the heck am I doing up? Well for starters I woke up about 2 hours ago! Why?, you may ask. Ummmmm.. I think I heard my dog,Lacey, licking her foot and thought something was wrong and then couldn't fall back to sleep. Maybe its because I just have soooo much to do today my brain won't let me sleep. I'm not sure but I would love to sleep and now I'm afraid to go to bed and not be able to wake up in 1 hr from now. This is crazy! I just hope that I can get through the rest of my day with only 3 hrs sleep.

Today my day will start off by getting Joseph up for school at 6:30am, because at 15 he still can't manage to wake up by the alarm clock!ugh... then I will have to get dressed right away and be at the High School for slicer training class by 7am. From there, I will head over to my Elementary School to start my day of work by 8:30am! Ok... today would be Taco Wednesday! One of the messiest lunches in the world. This is a horrible lunch day. A lot of heavy lifting that I really am not used to yet. At about 2:15pm my day in the lunch room will end! thank goodness. Then its home for a little r&r... but not much.

By 3:30pm the boys will call me to come pick them up from weight training. Then I will need to start dinner. DJ is on a very strict diet right now. Dropping weight already for wrestling season which starts in about 2 weeks. He is doing everything right this year, which makes me very happy. He is doing high protein and little carbs. Eating 6 small meals a day. He is right on target. He really has only 8 pounds to lose before weight certification which is in about 4 weeks and then over the course of another 4 weeks he will drop 5 more lbs. Well try to. He is usually pretty good at it. By 4:30pm I will have to have dinner in the oven. Porkchops, fried rice and veggies tonight. Then at 6pm I'm off to my 2 classes. 1hr of weight training and the 1 hr of body sculpting. hmmm I don't think either are really working but this is only week 4 today. I will get home at about 9:15pm and then I think I will actually crash!

With this new job, I just feel like I never have any time to do what I'm used to doing. I hate it that I can't go for my walks in the morning anymore and I never have any time to scrapbook or just sit here and take time to write on my blog. I just don't know how most of you do it. I've been home for the last year, not working and I guess I just got into a routine. Now I need to start a new routine. We will see what next week brings me. I like my job, but I also need to take care of me. I will have to see if my RA can handle it. I will tell you that yesterday was a killer. I do go for my treatment on Thursday and hopefully that will help. My last treatment only lasted 3 weeks. Hoping this month it will last the full 4 weeks. Nothing else too exciting is going on here. It is very cold here lately. I don't like the cold! Its been about 40 in the mornings and this morning (right now) it is only 37! Freakin' 37!!! What the heck. I told my husband I don't know how much longer I can do these damn cold winters. I just need warmth!

Ok... I'm getting off here to attempt to do some situps and stretches this morning since I can't walk(tooo cold). I have to do something or I'll just blow up! Hope everyone has a terrific day!
