Ok so one of the coolest things about being my own boss is that if I want to take a couple days off for something I have the freedom to do it.  I had a church picnic scheduled for this past Saturday (28th) but I had a really crazy week last week with being up all hours of the morning every single night. 

I was riding with a couple friends to the picnic, about 1 – 1 1/2 hours away, and we were leaving at 9am.  Ok no big deal, 9am is that early right?  Well when you don’t go to bed until 5:15am the night before – it’s very early!  I had some projects that needed to be finished plus some that I hadn’t even started on that needed to be done by Monday morning. 

I called my friend at 8:30am telling her I wasn’t going, or at least that was my plan.  The conversation in my head was simple, Trisha, this is Tishia and I was just calling to let you know I’m not going to the picnic because I only got a couple hours sleep and I have alot more work to do.  and in my head Trisha said, oh ok, have a good day. 

Hmmm I should of known it wasn’t really going to play out like that! This was the real conversation:

Me:  “Hi Trisha it’s Tishia”
Trisha: “Hi Tishia are you ready to go already?”
Me: (laughing) “umm no actually I’m not going”
Trisha: “What?  ”What do you mean you aren’t going? You can’t just not go”.
Tishia: “Well sure I can, I’m tired, I have work to do, I’m kind of grumpy and I just want to go back to sleep and sleep the whole day”.
Trisha: ”You know you would be missing out.  And besides you don’t want to waste your day sleeping and you can do work tonight when you get home and not only that but you know you want to see (insert the person of my interest).”
Tishia: (laughing and smiling now) “Ok you’re right.  I’ll sleep on the way up and back and work tonight.”
Trisha:  “Besides did you really think I was going to let you get out of this, I mean after all you did already make a big bowl of macaroni salad” (and she was laughing this evil ha ha laugh because she knew I wouldn’t waste it)  

So that’s how I ended up going and ended up getting myself into a predicament of pulling an allnighter last night (Sunday) – I mean a literal all nighter! I didn’t go to bed until 9:20am this morning. 

I was so tired Saturday night by the time I got home that I took 2 Tylenol pm’s and was in pajamas and in bed with my air conditioner running at 7:30pm and didn’t get up until 11:10am Sunday morning (I missed my alarm clock going off, I missed church even!). I couldn’t believe I actually slept that long! But even more so I couldn’t believe I was still tired.  I made it from my bed to my couch where I slept all of Sunday afternoon away!

Then my brother & his fiance invited Caleb and I over but we didn’t leave here until like 8:30pm.  We got home about 10:30pm and I knew I was in trouble…..LOL.  I had a long night ahead of me with work projects due first thing Monday morning (sigh). 

So that’s why I ended up pulling an all nighter last night and not going to bed until 9:20am this morning.  And it’s only 11:47am so I didn’t even get 2 hours sleep!

And the moral of this story?

If you’re gonna play, you’re gonna pay (you don’t usually think of work when you hear this saying but it fits perfectly into what I’m feeling).
