Every year I promise myself that if I am not in bed by X time, then I will call in sick the next morning....but very rarely do I actually do it.
It's much easier when I am physically ill, like when I am throwing up or have laryngitis. I think we need to give ourselves a break!

I know what you mean about being ill. Last year I planned ahead that after a few weeks I would take a day off if there wasn't a vacation coming up. This year I made it all the way til now without a day and I am burned out. The kids have worn me out. We did have a Sandy storm day on Monday that helped a ton but I keep looking forward and thinking to myself I can't make it. So hard with that mentality.
Haven't been sleeping this whole summer and now fall. I fell asleep driving yesterday several times and that was so so scary. My priority is to get enough rest so i can drive. Here's to some holiday time coming up.
Don't know what's wrong with my pm, because I have gotten some before.
Thanks for the message.
