Still Learning

I have had a few challenges with taking my Phen on weekends when I work. I work the night shift at a hospital as a CNA so my challenge has been when to take the Phen if my goal was to take it early in the AM. Monday-Friday I am spot on with taking my Phen! My first Friday I took my Phen and I could not get a nap in for the life of me before going into work. Here some background - Monday thru Friday I spend my time up early in the AM getting kids ready for school, doing errands til I pick up my pre-k daughter, Mon/Wed/Fri I spend the rest of the day with her cleaning and playing, Tue/Thur I have to take her to Grandma's because I have school, then when the kids and hubby get home (around 3) it's homework time, dinner time, and getting ready for bed time. So needless to say there is a routine. The weekends have been a challenge because I normally take naps before a shift and finding the right time to take the Phen will probably change every other weekend. Last weekend I decided to skip my Phen on Sunday because if I took it in the AM or PM I may not get any sleep at all. I still monitored my Calories and did fine. May have been a little more hungry but I think that had to do with the weekends screwing up my eating schedule.
