I hope you can have a good sleep, many times when I am too tired I have bad sleep.

@Jessicalynnt naps also do the trick. I had a cold, that's why i slept a lot. Colds drain my energy in epic proportions.

It takes a lot of you when you are short staffed with everyone else having to pick up the slack. I hope you were able to get a good nights sleep.

I had lots of days where I worked 12 hours straight and had to stay until someone else showed up. If that happened when my kids were small my husband had to take them to work with him to open up the store he ran.

I'll come hang your icicle lights It's always hard when you have to do more work than normal and pull longer hours too. My son's been doing that the last few nights as well.

well, not to defend them, but there really was no good options, we arent a big department, and there is no one that's outside it that has a clue how to fill in for us
