I have the sleepies...

Some folks have told me that they think I don't sleep. Trust me, this is not true. I do pull stunts where I'm up for days on end and everyone who knows me well just shakes their head because they see me all hyped up and turbo-driven. Those all-nighters tend to be motivated by my muse and fueled by my inner demons. Right now I'm not fired up and I'm very tired. I feel like work, family, home and all my other responsibilities are sucking me dry and leaving me sleepy. I feel good that I'm following through on stuff, but I wish I weren't so tired.
For example.
Last night I picked up Frick and Frack from school, gave them baths (we got the new bubble blowers out and filled the bathroom w/ bubbles), fed them and then turbo-cleaned the kitchen while F did homework w/ them. We put kids to bed at 8pm and then snuggled up on sofa. Being the great romantic, I immediately start yawing and then drift off to sleep before 9pm. I'm nudged and told I snore and should go to bed, but instead I forced myself to wake up and do some stuff because otherwise I'd have been annoyed with myself for wasting my non-work out night with sleep. (I'm still Type-A beneath all that yawning). I managed 2 CoV mishes w/ my new Corrupter (w/ Brion, who has a Dom) and then started to fall asleep again in front of PC. How pathetic. Then I relocated to sofa, where I woke up around 1am with a crick in my neck.
Of course, when I do go to bed early enough to have the energy to do stuff, there isn't any time to do stuff because I slept it all away. But then I'm all fired up and vexed. My personal Catch 22.
