Friday Poll

I was supposed to go to a field trip of Mr. P's the other day, but some things happened, and I was only able to get five hours of sleep. And dude, Gina cannot exist on five hours of sleep alone. So I had to beg off, which was no big deal since I wasn't a chaperone or anything, and I went home and slept for a blissful two and a half hours.

How many hours of sleep do you normally get?

And how is that working for you?

You are playing with me, right?

FIVE HOURS? Oh the bliss...

Yeah, my sleep hours are NOT working for me.

When that happens to me I can make it, but I'm a wreck all day, then I get home and I'm wired for sound. It's like a cruel joke. I average 7-1/2 a night. 10 to 11 on special weekends, at least one of the days.

I probably get about 6-7 work nights and 8-9 on weekends. Sometimes more, sometimes less. Today is a less type of day since stuff happened last night for me too and even though I try to stay away from caffeine I will likely be hitting it today... which will make tonight and therefore tomorrow it's own situation. Thankfully I don't believe there are any plans for tomorrow.

I get around 7, regardless of whether it's workday or weekend. I'm such a creature of habit that I get up after 7 hours, no matter what. It works out fine. If I lose sleep due to stress or illness, I usually manage to catch it up somehow. My issue is that I just cannot EVER nap during the day. EVER. I am envious of those who can.

I probably get 5 or 6 on a good night. It works out alright except during really busy days, then not so much.

Seven, usually. Being a night shift guy, it's not how much I sleep that's killing me so much as when I sleep. Though I have set up a nice quiet dark room, I still feel like sleeping in the daytime throws me off, even though I've been doing it for years.

I try to get 7-8 hours. Since I've been in menopause, I've struggled to get 5-6 though. It's been a rough couple months. I do best on at least 7 hours.

Solid seven; it's juuuuuust right. Before I had kids I slept 5-6 and was rarin' to early every morning, but now the body demands seven.

Typically between 6-7 which really isn't enough for me. I just can't make it to bed earlier. Or, if I do, I get wrapped up in a book and stay up too late reading!

Here I am, late to the Friday poll AGAIN. I overslept. Ha ha ha.

I get about 8+ hours of sleep each night. I've been put on some really powerful (and weird) drugs, though, so I am now craving much more sleep. I think the sleep I am getting isn't restful which is why I need more.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
