A New Year

Rate this Entry
Well, we've made it into another year, and it is one full of hope and promise for my family. I'm ashamed to say that I spend the holiday going to bed early in a bid to catch up on some much desired sleep.

All is going good, but things are still busy. I've resigned myself to the idea that 50 hours (when the schedule is irregular) is a LOT when you also have a couple of kids. We've kind of moved from one thing to the next since arriving here. There always seems to be something wrong with someone whether I'm sick, the kids are sick, the baby is teething, paperwork needs filled out, or things are going crazy at work and I must work some extra time. I feel like I've barely had time to breath. I am working now to find other positions in the hope that I'll have something to start at following Lent.

I just need and want something with a more set schedule. I'm afraid that Garrick cried tonight when I put him to be since I've not been here much to do it. He wanted my mom to do it, and it fairly broke my heart. I've never had my kids cry for someone else, and it is a sure sign that I need to get something with a more regular schedule. The amount of hours wouldn't be tat bad if they were the same from week to week, but I'm never able to tell my kids when I will be home with them.

I hope all is well for everyone else. The holidays went well? I've tried to post to some blogs, but I'm sure I've missed some of you. I hope the new year is starting off well, and that it will be one full of joy and great things for you all.

Take Care,
Meg

    Hi Meg, Happy New Year to you too. Don't forget, that part of the problems you've been going through revolve around the move. Everything will settle down over the next couple of months. But until then, hang in there. B

    I agree with B here--the first few months of a move are the roughest but I think you have a good handle on it. Very sorry about Garrick and the bedtime thing but on the other hand what a nice moment for your Mom that she will treasure. And the good news is this won't last forever. Looking forward to catching up with you soon. Love Rich

    I'm so sorry you are having a rough time. I hope things are some kind of normal soon.

    Meg, I don't think I could add anything different to that which my friends below have already said. You have my moral support and we all miss you. Hang in there, it will get better. I promise!

    Eek, 50 hours a week is a lot. I hope you have a short commute and don't have to add to the 50 hours much. I work 40 hours a week but an hour each way commute makes it to 50 hours. Happy Ne Year, Meg.
