This week has been super long. I started work on Saturday at Textbook Services. I work 10-4. After work we did a big grocery shopping trip. Sunday Robert and I both went in from noon to 6. I could have worked until 8, but I didn’t want to work that long. Monday I worked 8-4 while Robert stayed at home. We had Rich, Sonja, Luna, and Caitlin over for dinner. Tuesday Robert worked 8-8. I worked 12-8. In the morning I went out and got RENT, Robin Hood Men In Tights on DVD, and more stainshield Rubbermaid. I know, my life is so exciting. Today Robert and I both worked 8-6. I am tired, but poor Robert is even more so. When we came home, he laid down until 8 (so 1.5 hrs). He ate about 10 bites of supper, then had to go back to bed. No, my cooking isn’t that bad. He just couldn’t wake up enough to eat. I just hope that he is feeling better in the morning. Tomorrow I am scheduled for 8-4 so far. If Robert chooses to work late again, I might try to stay late too, just so I can be working while waiting to go home. Friday I am working 8-4. Friday night I have a meeting at church at 7. I hope that I am awake enough to deal with it. Sunday is Rally Sunday at church for Sunday School starting. So that means I have to be at church during the two services. Saturday my plan is to sleep, lay around, sleep, and lay around again. I am not sure what my plan is for next week. I am hoping to go to school and help Ann out again this year.
I just hate feeling this way. I wish I could do something to make Robert feel better. There isn’t anything I can do to make my husband feel better. I just have to sit back, do very little, and watch him be miserable.
Time for me to get some of the dishes cleaned up and take care of the food. Maybe I’ll get to bed by 10.

awe, don’t feel guilty. I feel the same way sometimes too. I think its just an element of two hard working people, having a life together…
I”m sure by the weekend you guys will feel better. Sounds like you’re both exhausted!
