Not much sleep again

cd34 · 2005-02-11, 09:07 AM

I haven't slept well in years. I made a rule -- if I lie awake in bed for more than 15-30 minutes without going back to sleep, I get up and work until I am tired.

Recently I've been working Bankers Hours (10-3) and sleep due to sheer exhaustion. All I want is a few good nights of sleep.

I love sleep and under the right conditions I will sleep endlessly. But I have been working late into the night and going to bed around 2-3am. The problem is that I have to get up and finish getting the kids ready for school at around 7:30. That leaves me tired all day long. You'd think after being tired all day long that I would go to bed at a normal hour, but no. Just as the wife is going to bed, I'm suddenly energized and ready to work until 2am again.

I guess you haven't found anyone to take them off your hands yet! Have you tried ebay or amazon dot com?

I heard youngens are going for $20 - $30 each!

You think they could be taught to submit tgp's daily? What? I'm just asking.

I've been threatening to sell them since day one. But the wife says it's a package deal. If they go, she goes. So, if anyone is looking for a petite 32yo blonde with two PITA kids, I'm taking bids.

(Actually, the oldest isn't included. She's from a different mom. She said she was on the pill...)

They'd probably be better at it than me and then I'd get even less sleep trying to keep up with their productivity.
