What a week

So, here's a question; How long does it take to recover from planning and throwing a 50th birthday party??? All week!! is the answer. Sunday after the party, I had people at my house at 7:30 for breakfast. Thank God, I got up at 7:00 to start. Everyone left around 2:00 that day. Everyone else took naps, I wanted to stay awake in case Noah woke up cause Erin was up the whole night before with him. Monday, Erin left around 10:30 and Pat came over and visited until around 2:00 and it was so nice to catch up. Thank Goodness I took the day off cause I was wiped out.
Tuesday, I didn't get up to spin, and when I got in my car to go to work, low and behold, it wouldn't start. Got to work finally and was so tired all day, this after at least 10 hours of sleep.

Wednesday, Mark woke up with the flu, I went to work, but again, felt like I'd been run over by a truck, this after another 9 hours of sleep.

Thursday, I had to pick my sweet mom up from her house in Pismo, give her a Zanax so she could tolerate her dental appointment, take her and pick her up from her appt, go back to work to do an interview, and come home to my sick hubby. I did get up and do pilates today with Toni, and I would summarize my hours of sleep this week to average about 9 to 10 per night. So, why is it, that I am still tired??? Too much sleep? I'm old? Not enough Carbs?? (that would be a nice one :) And, can we talk about the dreams I've been having!!! vivid doesn't describe them, and wierd doesn't do them justice. I don't even want to know what they mean, maybe years of therapy. I couldn't even make them up, even with a good imagination. It makes for interesting conversation over coffee and internet in the morning with my husband.
