having actually shared a day in your life, i think you left out the giant margaritas.

you're not fooling ANYONE, missy.

And here I was honored to have you visit the blog before, but to see what's on the plate, I'm even more so.

I do have one question. Do you ever say "No"? But, uh, not when it comes to blogging. :)

(It does sound as though with all that running, you'd be very good at teaching a spin class. Whatever that is.)

That is a busy day. You get up at 4:30 am? Holy.....

4:30? That's just sick. You should only see 4:30am coming home. I say let your kids fend for themselves on the homework and read more blogs. It'll teach them independence. ;)

uh, you just put me to shame. my day:

6:50 a.m. - alarm goes off
8:00 a.m. - walk to work
8:20 a.m. - arrive at work
5:30 p.m. - leave work
6:00 p.m. - arrive home, feed cat, start getting dinner ready (i.e. drinking)
10:00 p.m. - pass out from exhaustion (exhaustion from what, i do not know.)

So you survive on 5 1/2 hours of sleep a day? I would die.

You're a better man than I...er...person.

Holy CRAP!!! WTF??? Do you have to schedule breathing too??? In retrospect, my alarm goes off at 5 a.m. and I'm glad to know there are actually people up before I am! I'm with brando though...I've SEEN the picture of those margaritas and your sweet little self sitting behind them too...so when did you fit those into this incredibly filled up schedule? huh? huh? huh? Good gawd, take a vacation, you're wearing me out and I've not even left home yet! I hope you at least get a giggle or two in today! : ) MWAH!!!

p.s. I've gotta tell you, though, I am loving Shoshie's Bwwwaaahahahahahaha evil sounding laugh more and more every time I read it so whenever I think of you getting up earlier than me that's the sound I will be making from now on!

Regarding 10:00 to 10:05pm ... uh ... I guess you're a VERY fast reader.

I'm a hell of a lot more like kat than I am like you (except I don't have a cat). Just reading your schedule made me want to go on vacation.

Hire help.

Hello, shari.

and here i was feeling bad for myself after my more recent typical schedule, needing to finish my senior project.

ie, up at 5:30 or 6, writing (10 pages a day, more recently) and classes (2 or 3 a day) and work (couple hours here, couple hours there) and running (about 10 a day), some meals, bed at 11 or 12.

you win. you're officially nuts.

Well that explains your abs. At 4:30am, I am still twitching in REM sleep -- dreaming of your abs.

 
At 9:22 AM, Blogger Squirl said...

Okay, that made me tired just reading it. You must have loads of energy. I do feel special now that you visit and comment on my posts.

I'm with Jim. How the heck do you survive on that little sleep?

 
At 10:29 AM, Blogger The Q said...

Damn woman, why don't you actually DO something with your days!?!? Sheesh, you should be ashamed of your lazy ass self.

*snort*

You need a calm, relaxing weekend away...oh say to rainy California? :-)

I hope things settle down for you soon....or um, is this your NORMAL, DAILY schedule forever and EVER? GAH!!

WOW I miss having little ones around. Thanks for curing me . . .

Are you really getting by on 5.5 hours sleep?

Damn sister! You are a busy one.

Just wanted to pop by and say hi and I miss you....but understand that you're much busier than I am.

I don't think I could do your schedule for one day. I am a sserious sleep wussy. I need 10 hours or I pass out.

 
At 4:09 PM, Blogger Amy said...

Oh my lord, Eclectic your life itself is like a spin class!
