Just Plain Tired
Can anyone relate to being just plain tired? I mean that bone aching, can't keep my eyes open for John Stamos on ER, dazed and confused tired.
Since school began, I feel like I've been stretched in every direction. My son has to be at school early for this. My oldest daughter has to stay at school late for that. My youngest daughter just doesn't want to sleep at night. Not to mention all the "projects" that require parental help and supervision. Who really learns anything from building a 4 foot lighthouse? Well, I guess I DID learn how to paper mache over styrofoam. My project motto has become, "If in doubt...hot glue!"
Does anyone understand what I'm talking about? Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? Does anyone just want to whine like me?

Yes I understand what you are talking about I have 3 kids 18,15, and 7 plus I am single mom who works night shift so I leave work in the mornings go home get kids ready for school then take them to school come home get 4 hrs of sleep then go pick them up and take my daughter to her 5th period class across town for 90mins and then go back pick her up and during this time have to do homework with the youngest while cooking supper and washing dishes and doing the Mommy things plus get ready for work and to repeat it all the next day so yes I do understand the Im so tired please just let me have 5 more minutes of sleep feeling. Summers are not as bad for me and I look forward to them more than my kids do I think. I have been doing this night shift for 20yrs now and I still hadnt figured out how to make it easier on myself and now that I am single Mom sometimes I wonder if I will ever figure it out.
Thanks for letting me whine and get that off my chest it feels good to know Im not the only one out there that has these feelings and now I dont feel as guility for having them.
