The Lights Are Off

It is 10:34 pm and I just turned off the light in my office for the first time since last Thursday night.  Boy does that feel good.  I leave it on 24/7 while I am on-call because that seems to lessen the possibility that I will wake the dogs when I get paged and have to check my computer at all hours of the night.  Tonight, I sleep.

Today, I went and got a facial at noon and then I left work at 3:00 and took a nap.  My sweet baby girl, who wanted me to go with her back to Dr. Lamm's office went by herself so I could nap.  I just don't know how I got so lucky to have a girl that is so adept at taking care of herself.  Then she brought me a diet cherry coke from Sonic.  She is a sweetheart.  I went with her after my nap to get her oil changed and I put $20 worth of gas in her car.  I really have very few qualms about putting the sweet girl on a plane in two days and sending her by herself to Lafayette.

Tomorrow, Bibs and I have to finish our shopping.  Contact solution, socks, bathing suit, sausage, stuff to pack for the road to eat so we don't have to leave Paisley in the car.  I sent an e-mail to Joey's mom last night to see if it is OK if we bring Paisley with us. I am not sure what I will do if she says no.  Bibianna said that Paisley sat at the back door and cried today when I left to go get my facial.  Anyway, I have to be at Suzy's house by 3:30 for a group trip to Midland for Summer Mummers.  I was looking forward to the trip a great deal until today.  I am just so tired.  The trip is going to cost me more than the $15 I had budgeted, which means the rest is coming out of New Orleans Money, and it isn't over until about 11:00 pm which means I won't be back home until probably 1:30 am.  Then, Bibianna has to be at the airport by 5:15 am for her flight.  I know I can do it and I can come home and sleep all day Sunday, but right now the thought of more sleep deprivation seems the equivalent to torture.  At some point, I have to get the house cleaned up before Casey and Ashley come to pet/house sit for a week, and I have to get my laundry done and get packed.  Deep breath, deep breath.
