lack of sleep

Its interesting to look back over the last couple weeks and see the highs and lows. I'm crashing in the lows right now--and we were so high last weekend! It was a great time and I was sooooo dead afterwards. (My back and I have discussed lion dancing and decided to leave that one alone.) I still hate doing things in public but I survived. The overwhelm came this week when life and kungfu hit head on. It started on Sunday, when my dog got hurt. Late night at vets, drugs, he was restless all night so no one slept much...admittedly not a good way to start a week. After a week of restless nights, he ended up back at the vets and spent the night there last night. I'm still waiting to hear how he's doing. So, stress. Lack of sleep. Always great for motivation. Also, Sean has had a lot going on at work, so he's stressed, working late. So the house is a disaster, I'm running around to practices and trying to keep up with requirements for the dog, and spend a few minutes with my daughter and getting further behind as I go. When I had to take my dog to the vet yesterday (in the middle of my work day, yes I do work full time also...)and started wondering if I could spare the time from both my job and kungfu practices to care for him....lets say its a wakeup call. My family is the first team I signed up for. They should have first billing not minutes crammed in here and there. I realized lately I'm so busy practicing for demos I don't practice for black belt grading--which should be priority. And I'm so tired I could just scream. Hope I can pull it together for Sat...and for myself.
