Good evening everyone. Today was a fairly sleepless day. By 7:15 it had been raining for 2 hours and the coach was calling to say that the game had been cancelled. So I picked Lex up from the YWCA sleepover, came home and went to bed. It was barely 3 hours later and the kids were being loud. It looked like Erin needed sleep, so reluctantly I dragged myself up and went downstairs with the kids.
For brunch I made fryed egg sandwiches and bacon for everyone. Those always hit the spot. Maybe my lack of stuff coming to mind to write about is due to my extreme lack of sleep. So I will try this.
Yesterday we finally received the books I had ordered a few weeks ago. I read "The house of night" series, book number 1. There are 6 or more total books in the series. Book 1 was awesome. I flew threw it. When I finished, I knew I wanted to continue the series. That night Erin and I ordered the next 4 in the series. Finally! Finally! Finally! After what seemed like 3 weeks, they showed up. I had been trying to read a book called "The witching hour" and oh my gosh! That book is hard to get into. I don't know if it's that I think it's slow, or that it is boring. For me, it's like the witching hour story just has not really gone anywhere fast, and feels dull. I kept reading it while waiting for the house of night books to ship because I didn't want to give up on it. Last night when I went to work, I left the witching hour here and took the house of night book 2 with me.
Two weeks of trying to read the witching hour and I was only on page 60. An hour of reading the house of night and I was on page 30. I was like "ok, so it wasn't me. It was the book I was trying to read."
So, although I have not written much tonight, I'm going to move on to the closing. Tonight we are going to have brisket for dinner. It has been cooking for the past 5 hours. In addition to the fact that it feels like too many days I've gone without working out, I have also felt more weak when it comes to food. I find myself in the kitchen, looking for a snack, and then telling myself "I shouldn't be doing this. I should be grabbing vegis or fruit, or just waiting till later when we eat." I'm sure it's partially because of the stress. Lack of sleep sucks big time. It stresses me out so bad. And depending on how late Erin was up, sometimes I have to be the one to get up in the morning when Zoe wakes up, usually because Erin is too tired. It sucks! I can't stress that enough. IT. SUCKS. OH. M. G.
One other thing before I bring this entry to a close. Although I'm filling out the app and applying for the Deputy Sherrif's position, I do find myself nervous and a little scared. I don't know about what exactly, I'm just really nervous and scared when it comes to applying for and possibly completely switching jobs. So I will call that it for tonight. I appologize for not having much to say. I will write more for you all tomorrow.
Thanks for being here.

PS At least I still maintain my goal of blogging every single day. Some days, obviously, are better than others. Some days are extremely hard due to things like lack of sleep, or just not feeling too hot emotionally.
