Sleep. Can someone tell me what that’s like?

It’s odd but that slice of bread actually looks REALLY comfortable right about now.

I need to forewarn you. This post will probably be completely incoherent but it’s really not supposed to be a legitimate post anyhow.

I am so tired. I have now had a grand total of 10 hours of sleep over the past three nights. I sort of feel like we have an infant again, only I’m the one who’s fussy.

Last night I was up working until 4am and had to wake up at 6:30am to get our hibernating 14-year old off to school. I figured I’d return and just fall back asleep, but NOPE.

All I did was lay there and think about all the things I could be doing if I wasn’t laying down. I love “making my own hours” and working from home, but not when I need to put in these 14-18 hour marathons. I suppose it’s better than not having work to do but my desire to never turn away a need has me pushed to the brink of narcolepsy…only I can’t make the final push.

I’m actually a little jittery as I write this which is really bizarre. I suppose I should eat something but who has time to open a can of Spaghetti-O’s? There’s work to be done, baby!

Aside from being a freelancer in the realm of writing, marketing, design, and SEO, I’m also busy cultivating the launch of our Pregnancy, Baby, and Parenting website over at Womb to Bloom. Then I make sure I do a certain amount of hours each week on pro-bono work for bloggers, site owners, and organizations (gotta keep that karma up).

Add in the fact that I’m having an absolute blast working with Boogie Wipes on a variety of totally kickin’ promotions (you just wait!) and you can see how my time gets taxed. Oh, and then there’s this lil’ blog of mine that fuels my passion. I love all you guys and gals!

I know what my wife would say if she were here. “You need to sleep. You need to eat. You need to stay hydrated. Go for a walk. Get some fresh air. Turn off the computer for a while. Recharge. Exercise. Rest.” She’s so kooky when she’s trying to keep me healthy. It’s cute.

But alas, my laundry list of things that need to get done is too long and my days are too short for a rest. I do see things easing come next Tuesday but no doubt another client will have a panic emergency come along to dash those hopes.

Well, I guess I should get back to work. I just felt it proper to explain why there won’t be a post today. Although, I may have just accomplished that anyhow by accident. Only I’m not entirely sure I’ll remember what I wrote by the time someone comments.

Oh. I know something else Heather would tell me. “Shower.” And this time, I agree. I can barely stand my own presence. I’m off to do that right now.

Ladies, feel free to thank me for the visual.
