Getting By

I'm looking at my calendar and I've only got 16 more days of Wards...I can't wait till this is over. I'm getting much better at managing it, however, between Wards and OB (what my wife is on - which may actually be even harder especially since she is pregnant) our house is falling apart.  My wife and I come home exhausted, we plop down on the couch and eat whatever we can scrounge from the fridge or freezer, we watch a 30 minute episode of TV, and we go to bed...we wake up (her at 4am and me at 5) and we repeat the cycle.  We do the bare minimum around the house, so unless you need scrubs or a bowl for food you really don't do either (if you can help it) and errands/chores just pile up...and they will keep piling up until this little horror of a month is over for us...I really don't mind when it's just one of us on a hard month, but when we both get "hit" it really throws us for a loop...you basically just crawl along, slowly getting toward your goal - you do only what absolutely needs done in your "life" and you try to make it to that better schedule in the sky.
