- There is a *limit* to the number of days I can stay up late. I knew before the weekend got here that I'd be up late on Saturday because of the sleepover. But, Friday night, I stayed up watching "Night at the Museum" with Darryl and the girls. And then on Sunday night I stayed up watching "High School Musical 2" with the girls. Not a problem, except that I have a DVR, and it was *recording*--I didn't need to watch it then!
- I eat junk for energy when I'm tired. Birthday party. Cake. And I have a sweet tooth. I didn't pig out on it, but I didn't stay away from it like I should have. On top of the wiped out tired, I'm feeling the effects of eating junk. I had been makin' pretty good progress, according to the new (accurate) scale. Until this morning.
- I get sucked into books. I don't like the direction the newer Harry Potter books have been going, and number six definitely went down that path. But I couldn't put it down, I'm so driven to finish what I start.
- I beat myself up when I don't accomplish enough things over the weekend. Okay, so I got a *lot* done by Saturday morning so that I could be ready for the party, and that went well. But, I pretty much wasted the rest of the weekend on the book, and so at the end of the weekend, I look around, and I don't like what I see. And I needed to--the garb for the girls needs to be done this coming weekend. I should have spent time on it, not reading, when I've got a time-based deadline.
- I hate it when my fabric patterns turn out sucky. I listened to someone who only knows their patterns so-so, and the girls' pants ended up not fitting well at all. Given that I don't really have that much time to sew, I truly despise it when I put so much work into something and it doesn't work. That the girls will outgrow most of what I make for them, it adds to the frustration. Why can't I find someone who knows what they are talking about when it comes to making stuff!?

Definitely a Monday
Oh, I'm draggin'-ass tired hurtin' today. It *feels* like Monday, all right. And it's by my own doing. You'd think, after all these years, I'd have learned my limitations. But NOOOOooo!
