So Surprising?

Is it so surprising that you're tired--when, on too little sleep, you started your day traveling to one end of the city and ended it somewhere completely different?
 

Is it so surprising that you feel as though you are spinning plates on a pole--when you are constantly balancing the needs of children and employers and, oh, yourself, any one of which could come crashing down at any moment?
 

Is it so surprising that it seems nothing is ever completely done--when you and the world just keep adding things to do?
 

Is it so surprising that a cup of coffee doesn't necessarily fix the afternoon slump--when we all know the afternoon slump is the result of the sleep deprivation (see above), and the plate spinning (see above), and the adding things (yes, see above), and that, of course, the coffee won't hit till hours later, like bedtime?
 

Life really is logical--well, at least sometimes--but I guess it keeps things fun to be surprised--even if, much of the time, it's really not that surprising!
