Damn Snooze Button

Saturday night I didn't go to sleep until about 1:00. I got up around 9:00 and was dog-tired. I figured, okay, this is good. I'll be tired enough to fall asleep early tonight since I have to wake up early tomorrow (Monday). Sounds good on paper, right? Wrong!

I could not fall asleep last night. While I didn't look at the clock to see what time it was, I laid in bed a good hour and a half before I actually fell asleep. I'm thinking it was around midnight. Grrrr.

This morning, I woke up 1 minute before my alarm went off. This happens frequently. I actually felt quite refreshed, but for some stupid reason, I hit snooze to get an extra 9 minutes in bed. When the alarm rang again, I was no longer feeling well-rested! I felt like I needed another 2 hours. How is this possible? How can 9 extra minutes of sleep make you more tired? A riddle of the universe.

Damn you, snooze button, damn you! Because I know tomorrow I will hit you again.

I am So Screwed

School starts again on Monday and I am SO SCREWED! I am barely dragging my ass out of bed every morning at 9:30, and I mean dragging. I am seriously prying my eyes open with, uh, some kind of prying tool (?) and pulling myself up even though my body is screaming for more sleep. Then I walk around like a zombie for the first 30 min. of being "awake." What the hell am I going to do on Monday when I have to wake up at 6:15?

What's weird is that until yesterday, I was getting up without any problem. I would get up at 8:30 or 9:00 and feel refreshed and ready-to-go (even though I had nowhere I needed to be). But all of a sudden, yesterday morning I felt like I was hit by a truck.

Hmmmm...maybe it's the pregnancy, but why now? Why does this happen a handful of days before I have to go back to work?

Like I said, I am SO SCREWED. I'll let you know what happens on Monday.
