Slept Too Hard Again
It’s 3:20 pm Central Daylight Time. I woke up twenty minutes ago. My life is exhausting. Stephanie picked up my slack, so the boys got the care they needed, but crashing out like this makes me feel like a loser. But at least Mondays are technically my day off so I don’t have to adjust…

Her Day Off
Saturdays are Stephanie’s day off from caregiving. I mean technically we are both “on call” for the children 24/7, but there are certain days we don’t bill, and it’s the other person’s responsibility unless there’s an emergency.

Day Off (in D minor)

Calling Off
I got enough sleep last night. I got enough coffee this morning. My wife did not. I’m staying home from work so she can rest. The boys are loud but they are clean and fed. I’m still in my jammies, so I feel a little guilty for not making more of an effort to go…
