So Tired and I Can’t Blame DST

We went to bed pretty early last night and I didn’t have to set the alarm to get up at any particular time. This should have been the best, easiest day after DST ever.

But it wasn’t because last night sucked.

First, I just could not fall asleep. The last time I looked at the clock it was 2:02am. Then, an hour later, the dogs went ballistic and the bedroom smelled like skunk. For the next hour, the dogs took turn begging to go out, while we took turns telling them to shut the hell up and go back to sleep.

At 3:30am, I couldn’t take it any more and let them out. Where they acted like assholes in the backyard and probably woke up the whole neighborhood. 5 minutes later, Skeeter and Lola were ready to go back to sleep but Buster butt wanted BACK outside and would NOT settle down.

He must have finally done so though because the last time I remember looking at the clock because again, I COULD NOT FALL ASLEEP, it was 4:20am.

Then, at 6:06am, I woke to Buster butt barfing. I tried to ignore him and go back to sleep but after he finished barfing, he cried at the door and then pounced me in that “I REALLY NEED TO GO OUT” sort of way. So, I took him out and the other two went along as well and if we hadn’t woken the neighborhood up at 3am, we absolutely did at 6am when Skeeter barked her stupid head off.

And then I did fall asleep pretty quickly — the last time I saw the clock it was 6:15am … until I heard TW’s mother get up at 7:30am. I tried to pretend she wasn’t there and just stay asleep but I couldn’t because by then I was starting to think about all of the work I hadn’t done over the weekend and just how long it was going to take me to get through the morning rounds and so… I got up and OMG I am SO TIRED.

SO. TIRED.

I’m also grouchy because TW didn’t even hear the barfing incident or me taking the dogs out after the barfing. And because most of those hours when I couldn’t sleep, she was definitely sleeping. NOT FAIR. Totally annoying.

SO. TIRED.
