Out of Whack

Friday, March 27th, 2009

My sleep patterns are jacked.

I fell asleep at 7:30 last night and stayed asleep until 6 am this morning.  And I’m still tired.

I haven’t been exercising.  At all.

I’ve been eating crap.

My house is an absolute disaster, even by  my low standards.

I have weeks worth of laundry in various stages of not quite washed or folded or put away.

I haven’t been keeping up with my posting schedules or my writing assignments or my emails.

I’m tired and crank y and all out of whack and need 24 hours that don’t count.

Any ideas where I can buy that?

  1. Kristin says:

    IDK where you can find it, but when you do, please let me know. I was just thinking this exact thought when your page loaded! I feel ya babe!
    Love ya

  2. I wish I knew girl. Just close your eyes when you walk through the house.

  3. Avitable says:

    I’m pretty sure most Walmarts carry that.

  4. Dawn says:

    This happens. It’s your body telling you that it needs sleep. Soon enough you’ll be back to your old hyper self and wondering why you can’t just be chill.

    Go with it, sweets, and have a relaxing weekend if that’s what you want.

  5. SciFi Dad says:

    Fine. No one else will say it, so I will.

    Fatigue is a symptom of a specific condition, Britt. Just ask Faiqa.

  6. Sybil Law says:

    I have done the exact same thing lately!!! Maybe it’s just the weather – I refuse to believe I am getting old, or something!

  7. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to buy that? Target should sell it…they sell everything else…and considering I practically live there, it would be quite convenient.

  8. Jules says:

    Let me know when you find it, because you just described my days and nights…

  9. Tuli says:

    Hell, I need about 120 hours that don’t count. If you find a source, let me know.

  10. Hilly says:

    Hi, you’ve not only had one but THREE house guests in the last week and a half. I can’t believe that you didn’t crack at all…seriously. I would have been like, “lalala, I need my routine back, bitches!”.

    Anyway, I am with you…I feel icka from not being on my eating program, shitty from all of the lack of sleep and time adjustments and all I want to do today is crawl up with tv and a gallon or two of water.

    If you find the time fairy, bring her to me too!

  11. NYCWD says:

    I need 72 hours.

    Maybe we can find a week and share???

  12. Faiqa says:

    I am right there with you. I canceled all social plans for this weekend. I needed a mental health day from LIFE.

  13. you can find that time in pittsburgh. :)

  14. p.s. now, more than ever, am i glad i didn’t call last night to tell you about your boyfriend prince being on leno. whew!

  15. B.E. Earl says:

    This is whey you need one of those time-stopping watches that always seem to work out badly in sci-fi flicks or in the Twilight Zone.

  16. Momma says:

    okay, we’ll be at DeannaBanana’s in November. Can you wait that long?
    …..Or, will she kill you before she lets me do the cleaning, laundry, and preparing a weeks worth of meals for the freezer, at your place instead of hers?
    ……We’ll be there for Thanksgiving ;o)

    But not for long, the rest of the time at the house in Bradenton! I need rest too, doncha know?

  17. I need a week. I haven’t had a real vacation in well over a year and a half and I’m really starting to need one. I am soooo tired! I need one of those time-turners they had in Harry Potter! That would do the trick!

  18. Finn says:

    Oh yeah. I know. The school gods smiled on me and sprung a work on me today. And damn, I had no one to take care of Lil’ M so I HAD to take the day off. Today is my time out.

    I suggest you call a time out for tomorrow. Whatever will still be there on Sunday.

  19. Robin says:

    My sleep patterns are wacked too. I am thinking of taking a break from the laptop this weekend so my brain can adjust to actually living life for once. Problem is, my WW journal is on-line…..

  20. lizriz says:

    I’ve been fighting a cold bug all week, and it makes me run down and ditzy. Maybe you’re coming down with something? Vitamins B & C are always a good thing…

  21. Just a normal day for me . . . !

  22. Either eBay or Amazon should stock something like that. Perhaps Overstock has a few hours you can buy.

  23. brittany says:

    Leave the house without pants on. Your husband will be shocked. Blame it on extreme exhaustion, following which he demands you go straight to bed for hours of uninterupted sleep and mommy time.

    Works every time.

  24. Poppy says:

    Britt, move to NYC and take the train to work. It’s very soothing.

  25. Send me a plane ticket to Orlando, a sitter for my kids and dog, and the day shall be yours. I don’t have to wear that French maid outfit again, though, do I?

  26. Jessica says:

    I wish I could sleep that long! But I know how you feel- I hate that feeling.

  27. Fantastagirl says:

    Have you had your thyroid checked? Just making sure it’s not something more than just keeping an insane schedule…

  28. whall says:

    You don’t need more time. You need more deadlines.

  29. Musing says:

    My life sounds pretty much identical, except I was stupid and stayed up till midnight last night.

    If you find that store where you can buy time, let me know.

  30. Kristen says:

    I definitely hear you on that – this is my first visit to your blog (I saw it on MSNBC) and you just spoke my mind. If you find those 24 hours somewhere, please share with us!
