Mid-week Wrap Up

Best part of my week so far: getting to kiss him good bye before work Monday morning
Worst part of my week: is totally work related. I am over people who lie and who want to make their failure to follow directions my fault.
Loneliest part of the week: Going to bed alone
Stressful part of the week: finding out someone has been lying to me and now somehow I am supposed to fix it.
Disappointing part of the week: Looking at my timetable, and realizing a goal just isn't going to happen.
Frustrating part of the week: Knowing my work schedule will be messing with what I really want to be doing again.

Some weeks are harder than others, and this is one of the weeks where I am only half way in and I am overwhelmed. I know it will get better, but it is hard to hold on to that when I know next week brings a 6 day  50-60 hour work week an the threat of having to deal with it completely on my own. I need some kind of pick me up.

Best Laid Plans

I sat down and crafted a list of blog topics last night, and the plan was start working through that list tonight. It was going to be the start of a true reboot of this old thing. While I had planned on picking my stepdaughter up at the Boys and Girls Club after work I didn't plan on: 1) The amazon parrot needing me to make a food stop on the way home 2) My stepdaugher wanting me to watch her practice for color guard 3) That working on our budget would take nearly as long as it did. 4) Being this exhausted for no particular reason Now I sit here with a basset hound in my lap, and I am awkwardly trying to type on my laptop without disturbing him. This won't  be the blog I wanted to write tonight. It won't  be carefully crafted. That blog post will have to wait. Sometimes  you have to roll with the unexpected. Sometime you have to focus on what is really important. That means acknowledging that you have to make sure your priorities are in check. Sometimes you ha
