Busy busy busy. That's the season I'm in. We got back from vacation a little over a week ago, and I feel like I haven't stopped once since we got home. Chris had the week off last week as part of his FL vacation time, but I went back to work a couple days after we got home.
Work is fine. I feel like I can never catch up when I'm there. Like we're always behind. I'm not used to that, and I don't like it. The way I was trained was to make the job easier on everyone by always being a couple of steps ahead so you don't get the chance to fall behind. I'm not sure when/if we'll ever achieve that at this store, but I hope so.
I feel like I don't have any real time off. I suppose that's a reality as a mom. I get 2 days off a week, but those are the times I spend with the kids and catching up on sleep and bill-paying, cleaning, etc. Just trying to find a time this week to renew my license has been stressful, but I am hopefully going to get it done today before I go to work. Again, no down time.
I keep reminding myself that I wanted this - to work full time and provide more income for our family. I also get the feeling that if I get my performance raise in the near future, then I'll be a bit happier. ;) I just get overwhelmed thinking of Cameron starting preschool in two weeks (and getting him better potty-trained in the meantime!), spending enough quality time with Ian, and also getting some time alone with Chris. There just doesn't seem to be enough time. But, I'm not a quitter, and we will all adjust and make the time.
