6 Hours

I got 6 hours of sleep last night.  Still probably not enough, but better than it has been lately.  At 8:00, I was sitting on the couch, barely keeping my eyes open while watching Big Brother.  Still, when I went to bed, it took quite a while to get to sleep.  I'm not used to that.

I do feel better this morning, though, so I guess 6 hours is enough.

The girls had many stories about their first day of school.  Natalie announced that it is going to be "the BEST YEAR EVER!" and Monica is loving the Jr. High life.  She is so good at opening her locker that she found herself helping others with theirs.  They were both absolutely giddy.

This is day three of the ride share.  Because I think we can finish the week without starting my car (I thought I had a short business trip, but not until next week,) We will save about $52 on fuel, $42.00 on smokes, and probably close to $20 on Diet Coke.  I keep telling myself this much to make it worth getting up at 4 in the morning.

If I were to truly figure the savings, I would find the difference in mileage, since we're driving the truck instead of my car, but it's only 4-6 mpg difference, and the a/c and working windows is worth it!

OK, I'll quit blogging about this every day.  Maybe I'll do a once-per-week entry about how we're doing.  For the daily stuff, I'll stick to braille room numbers and kid stories.
