I want to sleep.

Morning came too early. Noah woke me up at 8 AM when Daddy was leaving for work. I got approximately 9 hours of sleep, but this darn cold made me feel like I got half of that.

So I am up. I got the kid ready, dropped him off at school, cleaned up a bit and will soon be off to the gym. I am forcing myself to go even though all I really want to do is sleep.

Grandma Nancy is picking Noah up after school, meaning I have to clean the basement before I leave for work. It is the boy's hangout place as well as where piles of clean laundry live. Yes, I know, the two really don't go well together, but it's just what happens. Putting away laundry is not our favorite thing to do.

So, where was I? Oh yeah, after the gym is: lunch with Noah at school, an hour more of cleaning at home and then 4 massages from 3-8 at work. After that, sleep, glorious sleep. How I long for your cuddly, warm embrace!
