Making sense

I'm a high-capacity person.  I can handle juggling many things at one time.  Yet, this is a time where not much is expected of me.  My wife is slammed.  She is staying up to 2 and 3 in the morning working.  I could handle it fine yet I'm in place of boredom.  She, on the other hand, is overwhelmed.  I don't get it some times.  I wish I could reverse it.
