Damn I'm tired

Damn I'm tired!
It's Wednesday already and I'm 1/2 a week behind on sleep. I work days, the Mr. works 2nd shift. I get up at 4:15 AM to get to work by 6 AM, and try to hit the hay by 9:30. He usually gets home around 11:30 and wants to eat or talk, or both.......
I can understand his need to talk right now seeing that he will be laid of (temporarily "they" say, for 90 days) as of 1/1/2006, and he needs to vent. I do my best to listen. I say ok, and I understand alot, and nod so as to seem interested.
Then the dog wants out, and the female cat demands to be fed. I kiss the Mister, tell him it'll all be ok, and return to bed around 11:50. I wake up again around 12:25 AM cuz the dog is barking his ass off to come in........Mister is asleep in the livingroom with Sci-FI TV on, and hasn't heard Prince barking a mere 15 feet away. In comes Prince, the female cat demands more food, I pee, wake Mister up, put his lunch dishes in the DW, clean out the litter box, set the coffee pot up for the next morning, and return to bed about 12:45 AM.
4:15 AM comes quickly enough, but after bedding down AGAIN, the female cat.....known as Sissy, decides to nest up between my legs, as close to snatch as possible. Tick, tick, tick RING
No wonder I'm tired.
