When You are Really Tired
When you are really tired, you tend not to think the most clearly. You tend to forget things. When you have a lot on your mind, you tend not to think the most clearly. You tend to foget things. When you head is spinning from an educational day, you tend not to think the most clearly. You tend to forget things.
Last week was a long week for us. We truly burned the candle at both ends. It culminated with a concert and a field day. Friday night, we went to see Shake Russell in a town about an hour and 15 minutes from home. We went because a co-worker bought our tickets and then told us to show up. Saturday we had a deer hunting field day to go to. It was our second trip to the event and we knew it would be a long day walking acres upon acres and then seminars at a local hotel. We would not have planned to go to the concert just because of what the next day would bring. . . but we felt compelled because of Cody’s co-worker.
It didn’t kill us because I’m here to right about it. We loved the concert! Shake Russell was really great. We expected he’d be done by 10:30. . . Try 11:30. That meant we didn’t get home until 1:30 ish. We were up and on the road by 8:00 Saturday morning. We headed out to the Dr. Kroll’s research center. We spent the day walking around, listening, and learning in 80 degree temps (Don’t get me started on how warm it’s been). This time, we didn’t get a break before the seminars started. They didn’t end until 9:00. At which time, we went to eat with the others who attended from DH’s lease. We didn’t get home until after 10:30.
Sunday morning, Cody didn’t have to elder so we decided to go to late service. We got up, got dressed etc. Cody was confused about the start time (unbeknowst to me at the time) and kept rushing me. (I later learned he thought church started at 10:20 and not 10:30- we hardly ever go to late service.) On the way there, we saw one of Cody’s buddy’s driving home- it seemed really early for him to be coming home from Sunday School. Then we got to church. My parents weren’t there and I wondered where they were. I figured they had either already left (unusual because mom likes to talk after church) or not made it into town. We walked into the church and Pastor and the elders were at the doors to the Sanctuary and our organist was already playing. It was 10:20. I looked at my watch and wondered why they had started early.
Then, one of our friends, explained the problem with being so tired, physically and mentally. We forgot to spring forward our clocks!!!!!! We had arrived just as the late service was ending.
That’s something we’ve never done before!!!!! Oh my goodness, we were in shock for the next hour or so. We literally watched the hour we lost this weekend vanish. I had remembered the time change Saturday but when we got home, we were just to tired, with too much on our brain and worn out brains, to even remember to change our clocks.
