As if I weren't tired enough

I'm kind of amazed that anyone ever makes it through parenthood. While I'd never change the decision, it's nights like this where it's 2:45am and you've just finished a middle of the night feeding/change and can't get back to sleep that really put you to the test. I have to be up for work at 6:30am, and am watching the minutes tick by one after another. All this, and I can't really be sure that if I do get back to sleep that my daughter will remain asleep. She had her 1 year doctor's appointment 1 week ago and is still recovering from 5 shots. I feel badly that I can't do more for her (I stayed out of work Friday to care for her) and spent this weekend caring for her, replacing carpet in one of our rooms, and swapping the furniture between 2 rooms in our home (all in preparation to put our house on the market). To say that I'm running on empty here is definitely a fair statement. It's pretty bad when it's early Monday morning and you're already exhausted, hell the week's just technically begun. On top of that, on Friday I go "on call" at work which means that for a week, if anything is needed at work, regardless of the time, I have to go in. So, even the thought of a weekend in 5 days isn't a relief, as I'll likely be up before the birds both "days off". *sigh* Oh well, I guess I'll try to sleep now.

I know, I know, I suck for not posting...

Don't take that condescending tone with me. You know, it's not like I don't feel badly about it, so you don't have to rub it in. Don't you realize that every time I update ANYTHING on the Mikeiscool Site , that I don't see the blog page nagging at me? I feel its pain. I know it feels neglected. But it's not as if I'm neglecting it on purpose. I mean, it's been a pretty busy couple of months. First of all, Lily had her first birthday (and a fabulous time was had by all). Also, I took (and passed) another class in BOMI (Building Owner's and Manager's Institute....work stuff). I also managed to get a Mikeiscool MySpace Page up and going (granted it needs some serious polish, and I'm using it primarily to refer people to this site.

But, there is one other thing I must confess. I've been cheating on my blog with another, newer blog . I know....I feel terrible about it. I totally didn't plan it. I discovered it on this site . It started with me making my own On The Lot Page , and one thing led to another, and well, you know the rest. I didn't intend on it happening, and I was thinking of my blog page here the whole time. I know that doesn't make it any better, I made a mistake. I mean, I'm just trying to find a way to drive some more, serious attention to this site, and I guess I got carried away. I'll try not to do it again, but, well, now I've opened pandora's box. I'm fighting the urge to blog on the Mikeiscool MySpace page and hope that I can be strong. We'll see.
