That’s what’s happened over the last few days. I’m starting to realize the “foods” this monster craves. Like sickness, exhaustion, stress, misunderstanding, crappy jobs, missing my kids and to-much-to-do-not-enough-time-itis. I’m a wimp – because I don’t do well with working a full-time job and keeping up with extra-curricular activities. Activities that used to be fun when I worked less, are now a chore. For instance: it was fun decorating & choosing things for the church when I had time (and less people were involved). Now it is dragging me down, stressing me out and frustrating me. I usually enjoy entertaining and having people in my home. Lately, my heart just isn’t in it. I don’t feel like cooking, cleaning, organizing, reading or some of the other things I usually enjoy. I don’t even feel like blogging tonight!
But….to quote Monty Python: “I’m not dead yet”
How can I NOT cheer up when I look at that picture?
So on a bright note . . . we FINALLY nailed down a trip to visit our first baby. We had a date scheduled weeks ago, then about 2 weeks out Kirk realized we had scheduled the trip during a VERY IMPORTANT work meeting. So we postponed our trip, which was scheduled around Cara’s nursing schedule (of 3 twelve hour shifts a week) …did I mention night shifts? Then, IBM changed their mind — and cancelled the meeting. Meanwhile Cara had started to re-arrange her work schedule to accommodate our change. When you work 7pm to 7am you are really working two days for one 12 hour shift …because you need a nap before work on one day, then you need to sleep when you get off work. I also had began re-arranging my work schedule (getting people to cover for me). It has been one big mess. But I am happy to report that a week from Friday I will be with my girl in Cincinnati! Amen.
