Getting worn down
Another day in single father mode, but
at least I got back to jogging.
To keep myself from having to get up a lot at
night, I brought both boys to bed with me. William slept like a log, but James
would periodically wake up crying and kicking, so I got tired just trying not to
be awakened by a kick to the head or
face.At work, I was so tired that I
took a brief nap for the first half of lunch, skipping the actual meal, and then
I went to the gym to jog a bit around the track and get my circulation going
again. I managed a mile of jogging and a mile of walking, and my knees seemed
to be comfortable. I considered just a mile total, followed on by a bike ride,
but I stuck with jogging around the
track.This
evening, after picking up the boys at daycare, I drove us straight to My Gym for
William's class. It ended at 7 PM, at which time we passed by McDonalds to
bring dinner home. I had to be pretty strict in maintaining discipline this
evening, and James was pretty upset at bath time. Fortunately, he was
cooperative in going to bed. It looks like I may have to take over James'
bathing entirely, and keep putting him to bed myself as well.
