no wonder Im so tired!

Why I Am So Tired

For a couple of years I've been blaming it on iron-poor blood, lack of vitamins, dieting, and a dozen other maladies. Now I found out the real reason. I'm tired because I'm overworked.

The population of this country is 237 million. 104 million are retired. That leaves 133 million to do the work.

There are 85 million in school, which leave 48 million to do the work. Of this, there are 29 million employed by the federal government. This leaves 19 million to do the work.

Four million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 15 million to do the work. Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for State and City Government, and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.

There are 188,000 people in hospitals, so that leaves 12,000 to do the work. Now, there are 11,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two people to do the work.

You and me . . . and you're sitting there reading jokes.

The sad part is while you were posting on the blog, I was doing all the work, so I'm now officially on vacation. It's up to you :)

I was doing some of the work, some of the time. But not anymore. I wasn't aware that you's were doing the work, so now I know I don't have too. True Story!!!!!

Things here are going well. Had the second ultrasound (20 weeks) baby is 14oz and appears to have everything he/she needs and is doing very well. Haven't talked to the doctor about the test yet, but see her in a couple weeks. Baby is moving and shaking things up a bit, but doing GREAT!
