With A Side of Jess: Changes are making me sleepy

Changes are making me sleepy

It's only Tuesday and I'm already having problems keeping my days straight this week. This is surely not a good sign.

My husband recently got a promotion and switched from 2nd to 3rd shift. This means that instead of him going to work about 2pm, we now leave about 10pm and instead of picking him up at 11pm, I now pick him up at 7am. Granted, he usually was able to get a ride with a buddy on 2nd shift so I wasn't running around quite so much, but it was a loose schedule for me.

Now, however, my awake/asleep pattern has gone completely bonkers and with so much waking up and then going back to sleep, I really felt like it was Wednesday already. This is going to make for a long week - or a short one.

This week, my schedule has looked like this:

Sunday
10:15a - 12:15p - Church
2:00p - 4:00p - Nap (not on purpose! I laid down to watch tv and out I went)
10:15p - Take hubby to work
11:00p - Get back home, finish up loose ends and lay down to watch tv until I fall asleep

Monday
12:30a - Fall asleep
6:15a - Wake up
6:40a - Leave to pick hubby up
7:20a - Home, cook breakfast
8:30a - 10:15a - Back to bed for a bit
10:15p - Take hubby to work
11:00p - Get home, lay down to watch tv until I fall asleep

Tuesday
12:00a - Fall asleep
6:15a - Wake up
6:30a - Hubby texts and says a friend will give him a ride home
7:00a - 10:00a - Back to bed, not feeling well so I'm glad he got a ride

I'm currently feeling another nap in my future, but I've got dinner to make and laundry to finish and I'm still not feeling well. The BRAT diet is my friend today as I had a banana for breakfast, applesauce for lunch and a Mexican sweet bread for a snack (I'm counting it as toast).
