I am either at work, on my way to work, or on my way from work, and always wishing I was getting more sleep.

I don’t see much of my friends anymore, save for the ones who live 3 blocks from the restaurant, and even then, I can’t do late nights any longer because I get up so early. I am stressed out about trying to keep everything straight: Where am I going today? What did the kids do yesterday that I should remember to ask them about (e.g. soccer practice)? What parties am I planning this week and what’s happening at each one? Did I email her those pictures? Is someone coming in today to go over the menu? When is the last time I responded to reviews on Yelp? I should put something on our Twitter today. Don’t forget that backlog of filing underneath your desk. How can I help my kid learn his time tables and make long division seem less daunting? What part of the ISEE are we working on this week? What homework did I give her? Don’t forget to bring those extra examples of how to simplify radicals! Hope the people on the tour don’t ask me questions about Pasadena that I can’t answer because I have had absolutely zero time to research why the architecture on that building looks that way…

And that’s to say nothing of my thoughts on why I’m doing all of this to begin with.

I’m not complaining because I am grateful to be employed, I’m just tired and this is hard and I wonder if it will be worth it.
