Backfire, Like Uncle Buck's car

My plan to arrive home yesterday from work, stay awake until 8 PM then go to bed totally blew up in my face.  The night before I didn't sleep well at all and was up by 3 AM ready to start the day.  Naturally, after lunch yesterday I was dragging ass.  All I wanted to do was go home, put on sweats and hit the rack.

So, Chris and I get home at the same time last night.  I made a quick dinner of amazeballs Velveeta Shells and Cheese, ingested said carbs and then posted up on the couch.  Great-- I thought to myself "It's 5 PM.  I just need to stay awake a few more hours, then I'll be ready for an awesome night's sleep."  I don't know what came over me however, Chris put the Cubs game on and boom, I was out.  He woke me up at 8:30 to get in bed.  Damn.  My plan backfired.

Needless to say, I slept sort of well-- Kasia woke me up twice for an ear rub.  The worst part of this whole sleeping schedule mishap is that I'm two days behind in chores.  Normally, I keep the sink free of dishes, the trash taken out appropriately and the floor swept/cleared of doggie hairs.  Leaving for work this morning, all mentioned items are left undone. 

On a brighter note, it's Thurday and almost the weekend.  The temperature isn't 198, so that means I actually get to go outside and do some weeding/garden putzing.  My peony bush has this weird white powder on the leaves which I assume is some form of plant AIDS.  I need to get that shit tightened up before it spreads.  Not to mention, there are some weeds that need pulling.  Fortunately, my morning glories are starting to climb its trellis.  HOPEFULLY, the flowers will be big and magenta.  Love.

Chores unfinished?! Get used to it. :) Also, stop doing them now anyway, Miss "High Risk Pregnancy." Dishes are one thing, not much bending and lifting there... but garbage and floors? Nu-uh. Time to get Dad to start pitching in. And take it easy in the garden too!!! Your job now is to try to stay comfortable and keep that baby cooking. Passing out at 5 pm is perfectly appropriate. /end lecture

Why are you worth knowing? We all circle the drain of qualifying our worth/what we are giving back to the universe...…. don't we?  I s...
