Slowly I'm getting my sleep schedule back on track. After 4 months without my computer and jet lag, I got off to a bad start. Plus I just got Pokemon rescue for christmas and it's hard to put down. I've been getting to bed about an hour earlier each night. It's before 2 am so I'm good for tonight as far as I'm concerned. I had a nap actually. My boyfriend was going to take me to Red lobster because I want cheesy bread and a salt-crusted baked potato slathered in sour cream...but I was too tired.....you know you're too tired when you pass that up for sleep. Tomorrow is new years, our 4th anniversary actually. We've been having a rough time lately, but it's mostly the Japan thing i think....holiday stress and pms too.
I finally cleaned up my room today. Since I was able to walk, my mom has been bugging me about cleaning my room. Not the same mess of course, but it's always a struggle. I get in trouble more for having a messy room than anything else. She has good kids if her biggest concern is that their room looks like pig pen. Personally, I think she needs to start trying a different approach. You would think after like 19 years of struggle she would try something else...something other than threatening to take privileges away and yelling. I like to actually clean everything, go through my crap, sort, etc. which takes me days and days, but she wants it done now no matter. Shove it under the bed, as long as the floor looks clean. It's a big project...I wish she wouldn't just say clean it. Give me some tasks for the day, break it up. I know I'm old enough to keep my own room clean and shouldn't need baby sitting like that...but it's an issue....looking back maybe, i wish she had tried something different.
