When my ass hits the couch......

I FINALLY got to sit on my couch today. I know it has only been several days since i have been in this very spot but it feels like a freaking lifetime.
The good news is i am over the baby bug but the bad news is that i don't know how to find time for myself. I am exhausted today but certainly deserve it today. I had a great time at dinner with my friend yesterday. We went to a japanese restaurant in coralville that I LOVE. I drank mie ties and saki bombs throughout dinner. Needless to say it was good that i wasn't driving home. We talked al night about so many different things and had so much fun. It was great to talk to another adult my age who doesn't have children or a psychotically happy marriage. It felt good to just talk and talk and talk. Then we discussed the statistics about the show of deal or no deal. I could go on forever about it. We had a late night and I felt the hang over before i went to sleep. I had to be at work at 11am this morning so the pounding in my head wasn't well recieved when the dogs woke me up at 7am. I got up and got in the shower and then we went to IHOP where we talked some more.
I arrived at work early and went to get more coffee and found some awesome shoes that i just had to buy. I was sick most of the day and just totally wiped out. I have been working six days a week this week and last as well as 45 hours in a five day week next week. I don't have another day off until next thursday and i don't know how i am going to make it.
My raise was approved through my store manager and now just has to be okeyed through the regional manager. I have fought hard to get this far and am excited that it is moving along. My regional is going to be the hard one to pass but I think the two store managers are willing to fight for me. I know that the drinking was not a good idea but it was a good time to celebrate. Lol.
I am still trying to write every other day. Once again it is nice to have my own lap top so I have the freedom to write when i have the time.
I had read on one of my step mum's friend's blogs that she is having lots of problems with her teenage son. I just hope that i never caused my parents that much pain and frustration. I know as a teenager it is our "job" to drive our parents crazy but some of the things he does is just plain ol' cruel. I give a lot of the credit to my parents for the adult that i have become.
It is time for me to go to bed but i hope to write again tomorrow. I hope everyone is well.
