Summer Schedule

So, I am awake and it is after midnight. This is how I truly know it is Summer. As far back in my marriage as I can remember Summer is the season of no sleeping. When we were on a mission trip in Croatia, I did not follow my usual Summer schedule. We are home now and the Summer schedule has taken over. I would really like to go to bed but my brain says, "stay up, you have no where to be." Staying up this late also happened when I was in college. Mind you, I am not a typical college student and not remotely close to a typical college student's age. I was hoping becoming an adult and having a career would mean "normal" hours and more sleep. I guess I misunderstood what it means to be an adult. My husband is however sleeping on the couch with not a worry in the world. I keep thinking about cleaning the house, cleaning up the yard, and other household things. I am also thinking about the next school year and what I can do to improve on last year. I do not wish to change myself but I wish that my brain could get off this weird Summer schedule. Is there anyone else out there that has a brain that likes to stay up late in the Summer? What to you do to "shut it down?"

Life

In general, I believe I am a happy go lucky kind of gal but these last few days have worn me out. We have just returned from a six week mission trip to Croatia. I had a great time and met so many wonderful people. I can tell you though that I am almost ready to give up on flying completely. It is definitely for the birds. The delays and rude people alone made me want to be the unhealthy person I am trying not to be. I tried to remain calm and just go with the situation. I did not do anything I regretted but I do think I could have had a better attitude. Today was also not my friend. The commissary and the Exchange were "closed." There was a power outage in Midwest City. That also means we were unable to go to the bank. It was not my day. I hope tomorrow we can accomplish all the things we missed today. I think I may go to bed early and hopefully get rid myself of some of this negative "mojo" I feel.
