Beth: Blame it on the moon
I don't know what it is, but this week has really been kicking my butt. I'm discovering that with my new work schedule, my weeks are either exhausting or just fine, and that doesn't seem to be dictated by anything except perhaps the moon. This week has been a tiring one. The "getting up at 5:15, two hours in the car, long days at work and going to bed at 11" routine has just been taking it out of me. The problem is, when it's a tiring week, it's tiring for the whole week. I was worn out already by Monday evening and it's been more of the same since then. I don't feel like doing anything at night except for lounging on the couch on the verge of napping. Last night Christian suggested we go to the mall (yeah, it shocked me too!) and by the time we got home I was a zombie. The weird thing is, I haven't even been that busy at work this week. Oh well, like I said, the moon.
At any rate, today was still a pretty good day. I got punched, called names, hugged and high-fived by my editor throughout the course of the day, all in good fun. He's odd, but he's a pretty cool guy, and it seems like he's pretty happy to have me on staff, too. That's a good feeling.

I am glad your boss is cool and that you are welcomed at work. That is indeed a very nice feeling...
On the subject of being tired...are you pregnant! HAHA of course I am joking! But, I have been feeling the *exact* same way...completely wiped out! I was blaming it on our move and the extra 7 minutes added to my drive (yep, it's 25-27 now!!), but maybe it is just the moon...sigh.....

Thats tiring! Thats almost to the T how my senior year of highschool was. I was managing a fast food resturant for about fourty to fifty hours a week, while still having a full load at school and I started college early.
I had no life. But I was living with my ex-fiancee and he ended up just stressing me out... there was no coming home to pass out while someone consoles me silently... he was not nice (hense why he is now an EX!)
I don't mean to discourage you... because I was much younger than what you are now, but it ended in a huge emotional blow-out.
Now when I think of stretching myself so then, I normally decline a few offers and enjoy the hours of nothing-ness.
In other words... take a weekend for just you and the hubby... and a beach. :-)
