Sleeping my way to ruin.

As a working mother, there is always some running, running, running. I however have been more like crawling, crawling, crawling, lately. I get plenty of sleep but cannot seem to wake up refreshed or just wake up without wanting to kill someone. I am sooooo tired.
Skip to last night. Work, off at 6, check, dinner with two elderly friends 6-7:15, check, pack bags and off to overnight sleep study, check, Check-in at 9 PM. Once I finally arrive at the sleep center, I am escorted to my room. I stopped and got a trashy tabloid magazine to read before bed or while I was waiting, but I didn't have to wait long. Once the tech came into my room they attached what seemed like 20 or so electrodes to my head, neck, collar bone and ankles. Yes, I am glad you asked, it was terribly comfortable. Then they gather the wires toward the back of your head, like some sort of wiring harness, strap three bands around your chest and waist and say goodnight.

What the hell. It is hard enough to sleep well on a great night, much less dressed like John Cusack in Sixteen Candles. Not only do you have to fall asleep to have a sleep study conducted, which my previous reference proves, was ridiculous, you have to stay asleep without turning too much that you pull the wires out of your nifty battery pack thingy.

"It's morning" I hear in a cheerful voice as I am awoken at 5 AM the next morning by the sleep tech. It was time to get up and head home.
Ok, to refresh, sleep with a commodore 64 strapped to your head, awake at 5 AM without wanting to injure any of the staff. This sounds like a great introduction to sleeping disorders and therapy. I can't wait to see what is next. I will keep you informed.

Where do we go from here? Thrown a fit lately?

Now as most of you working mothers know. It is all about the scheduling. But, I guess my question is, do you have to schedule doing nothing? For instance get home at 6, dinner at 7, spend time with kids, 8:30 put kids in bed, 9-10 zone out and do nothing.
I guess that is how that would work.

Do you schedule your scheduling time or just let it happen when it happens. Working away from home it is hard to just let things happen, because, frankly if they aren't on the schedule, they never do.

Another exciting topic I have for today is, I am crazy.

Yes, not exaggerating.
My husband works out of town. He gets home around 10 PM on Friday nights and leaves again on Sunday night around 8:30. That is Dad's time with the fam. Unfortunately, I work on Saturdays, so Dads time with the fam is minus Mom for half of the time.
So, recently I have told hubby that he cannot make it harder on me when he is home. For example, I am very, very tired at the end of the week. If he comes home and turns the house into a war zone over the weekend, especially while I am at work and then he leaves on Sunday night, well Monday is hell for me. And then, self absorbed me, is mad at him for creating more work by coming home.
So, this last weekend, he was home, played with the kids, did a load of laundry, then on Monday when I finally made it up to the laundry room and kids rooms, there it was. A complete war zone in every room and huge separated stacks of laundry, out of the hampers, on the floor. Dad was sorting them and never got back to washing them.
I was insane, kids couldn't have dinner until rooms were done, I cursed my hubby under my breath and left him a message that he couldn't return home this weekend. I know, stupid, a full blown fit. I threw a fit.

Nevertheless I did call him on my lunch hour today and told him that it would be OK for him to return home and that I was done throwing my fit. Luckily he laughed at me and told me it was OK.

I am starting a habit of one fit a week and wonder if there is anyone out there with me. Anyone?
