I'm just done with the constant exhaustion. Also, I've really had enough of being totally dependent on others in order to make so much of my life "go".
Poor E is also very overtired, but I can't seem to convince him to either a) go to sleep at a reasonable hour (he fell asleep last night at 945 pm, after being upstairs in bed for nearly two hours or b) sleep later. (He did take a three hour nap yesterday afternoon) I know that "sleep begets sleep" and whatnot, but even with a stable home routine there just isn't anything I can to do persuade this child to lay his head down on the pillow and relax until he's good and ready to do so.
Josh is just going to have to decorate the tree without me. It sucks, but there it is. I have to work all weekend (my regular day job plus M-W-F-Sa-Su at Job II) and there just isn't any time that I can imagine when I'd be able to help him.
Honestly, given that a) I've already been given what he makes clear is my only present (and rightfully so -- its the new laptop), b) my inability to shop due to my leg, and c) my work schedule I just don't feel any excitement at all about the holiday this year. Yes, I want to make sure its nice enough for E, but there is so much I cannot do -- no cookie baking, not much decorating -- that I can't really see anything to get excited about.
