Sleepytime Gal

You know, they say that when you set your clocks back in the fall, you "get an extra hour of sleep." That is just bullshit. First of all, you would only get an actual extra hour of sleep if you went to bed Saturday night at the same time you do every other night -- which a lot of people don't do -- and you woke up Sunday morning at the same time on the clock as you do every other day, like by setting an alarm -- which many people don't do on Sundays, either. As for me, I couldn't fall asleep last night until 3.00 am, so I not only didn't get an "extra hour", I barely got anything close to my normal hours of sleep.

The thing is, I actually did fall asleep before 3.00, many many times. Between 11 and 2, I would fall asleep, wake up in a minute or two, and then fall asleep again twenty minutes later for another minute or two. I did sleep from 2 to 3, but I was convinced that whole time that I was awake, and talking to the Hubs about how neither one of us could sleep. It wasn't until after 3 that I actually fell asleep for the balance of the night.

So I'm a little out of it today. Fortunately, I didn't have much to do except go food shopping. The most amazing thing of the day was that the cable guy came while I was at the supermarket and the Hubs was here with him and took care of it. Knock me ovah with a feathah! The last time the Hubs stayed home for a service person was in 1992, when I left him alone in the house for ten minutes on a Saturday morning and Sears came and delivered the wrong stove, and the Hubs signed for it and they went happily on their way. It took me forever to straighten out that one. But so far, the cable is working, so I have no complaints today.

Not looking forward to school tomorrow, but looking forward to getting the meeting with the principal over with. The SCM and I just need to get our ducks in a row before we go in there. I really hope this doesn't come out badly for us.

I'm going to go collapse now, and watch this year's Treehouse of Horror.
