I actually do think that could be part of it, Kenny.

Part of this is due to messing up my sleep schedule on Saturday. I got off at midnight on Friday night, and Chris got off at 1 a.m. So we made it to bed about 2:30 a.m. But, Chris had to take his Blazer in for some maintenance at 8 a.m. Saturday morning. So the alarm went off at 7, I dragged myself out of bed, followed him out to the repair place, and then we came home and went back to bed until the alarm went off again at 10:30 so we could go pick up his Blazer and then he could go to work for a few hours. I went back home and went back to bed until the phone woke me up at 1:30, and then went BACK to sleep for another hour until I looked at the clock and realized, "Oh crap, it's 2:30 p.m. and Chris will be home at 3:00!" So I got up, but by then it was too late. All that fragmented sleep just killed my schedule. I'm still not back on track completely.
