ENOUGH Already!

The past five days have been a five-ring circus, spiced up with a fire drill.

Baby Girl has been fussy as she is trying to recover from the trek to the Pacific Northwest.
Work has been absolutely beyond insane - including three new clients who need everything yesterday.
My clean living room and kitchen took less than 24 hours to progress to a post-cyclone state.
I've not slept more than four hours, nor gone to bed before 1 a.m. in five nights - three due to Baby Girl, two due to work.
I have yet to actually remember to eat lunch this week, and dinner tonight consisted of funeral potatoes (it was leftovers night)

You get the point.

So what happens today?
* I get a call about a job possibility
* I realize I still have editing/writing to do for the charter school
* A client schedules early meeting in Happy Valley tomorrow, meaning I have to get me (and Baby Girl) up more than an hour early to get everyone everywhere they need to be on time - on top of staying up late tonight to finish client materials (because I refuse to work while Baby Girl is up and awake)
* All the meat I bought on Saturday - while having a lapse in sanity regarding the fact that we have no room in the freezer - needs to be wrapped and put in the freezer - meaning I have to rearrange it. TONIGHT.
* No sleep tomorrow night, as Baby Girl gets her shot boosters tomorrow.


Oh yeah, and it turns out I wasn't just cold because Himself left the bedroom window open again - it turns out our furnace went out. I'm not just imagining that it's slightly more chilly than usual, like Himself kept claiming. I didn't think it was a big issue, until I remembered Baby Girl doesn't have her own personal in-bed heater (aka Himself) like I do.

Take me out, I'm done.
