This week has been a work week and a half! Yesterday, combining my regular job and working for my brother up in Knoxville, I was on the clock for 19 hours. Last night we made it home at 4AM. I thought about just not even going to sleep and just waiting until time to go to work because I know how hard it is to wake up after just a little bit of sleep. But I ultimately decided that a few hours of sleep would be better for me than none. 7AM rolled around way too quick. So today I’m running off of 3hrs sleep last night, a full night the night before, and just 5hrs on Tuesday night after working 17hrs that day. Needless to say though, I had no problem whatsoever going to sleep on Tuesday 
I think I made it to bed at 9:45 that night, which has been the earliest in a very very long time, and was out like a lightbulb.
I don’t really feel too bad right now, but I’m sure that will change as the end of the day comes. I’m going to try not to push myself too hard, but I’ve got to decide before the end of the day if I feel good enough to take a 5hr drive tonight to Indian Springs, NC to do another job tomorrow.

My husband started his new job last week and put in 60 hours in five days. By the time Friday night rolled around he was totally exhausted. He slept until 11am on Saturday.
Nothing wrong with hard work…just don’t do it for too long. It takes a toll on the body.
Marsha – Glad to hear that your husband is getting some good hours. 60 every week would be too much I bet, but is nice here and there for the overtime pay.
I hear ya on the taking a toll. I woke up on Saturday at 4:45AM with a dang migraine, and as much as would like to say that it had nothing to do with the week, I’m pretty sure the lack of sleep had something to do with it. I caught up on Saturday night though, didn’t get up til lunch on Sunday
Hi Shane, I hope you are caught up now! It’s sounds like you’re trying to work a LOT, but…OK, I won’t give the “you’ve got to take care of yourself” lecture!
