O.O.C. = out of commission

That’s exactly how I feel right now.  Having been a stay-at-home-mom for the past three years and working outside the home only on the weekends has become a way of life for me.  For the past three weeks I have been helping out at work during the week, filling in for three therapists who have gone on maternity leave.  Today is day 4 of a 9-day-in-a-row work week, and I am spent!  I am so out of the loop when it comes to working outside the home.  I am on my feet for 8 hours a day treating patients, lifting, pushing, pulling, etc. and my body is telling me that I need to go home and snuggle up with my boys for their afternoon nap.  Add to that still getting up twice in the middle of the night with GG, and getting little more than a 4 hour stretch of sleep at one time, and you have a very tired mama.

Which leads me to my humblest apology for not updating my blog in six days!  Six days! You’d think I fell off the face of the earth.  When I get home from work it’s playtime with the boys before they go to bed, and afterwards it takes every ounce of my willpower to washup and go to bed.  Nevermind that the blogosphere is calling my name.  Nevermind that I am embarrassingly behind in my Google reader.  Nevermind…. *snore*…. what was I saying?  Wake up mama!  Anyway, I have 9 more weeks of this and I hope my body readjusts to function like human being rather than the zombie I feel like now.

Here’s to hoping that I can stare at my computer screen and write a post every once in a while without face planting into my keyboard!
