Skipped working out the past two nights after work - feeling very tired this week , and felt that rest was more important. I covered a co-worker's vacation and am currently working my 7th straight 12 hour shift. Tomorrow is the last one!!!

This week & weekend I found it impossible to get up at 4:00 AM for work, get home at 6:30 PM, spend time with the family, and then attempt a workout. I usually finish showering at 10:30-11:00 PM, which only leaves 5 hours for sleep. It's one thing to do lose a little sleep when I only have to work 4-5 shifts; it's altogether another thing when I have to work eight in a row.

My little girl is getting clingy too - when I'm home, she constantly hugs my knees tight... she doesn't know too many words yet, but I think she's telling me that I'm working too much.
