That’s how my patience and attendance feel right now. I am trying to balance everything and feel like I’m not doing so well and like my family is losing out more than anyone. I am developing MAJOR short timers disease with regards to daycare. It is very clear to me now that it’s the right decision for all of us to close the daycare. I am burnt out on the parents and my kids are burnt out on the kids.

I am taking on more work with the new job and I really love it!! Adult conversation throughout the day, using my brain again, conferencing with clients. The things I always enjoyed when I worked outside the home. And the best part? I can do this with my kids sitting in my lap. Who could ask for more?

I am watching the news and they just issued a snowy forecast for the weekend. *ACK* I am so not ready. And why do people say they hate the cold but live in Vermont? MOVE! One thing I’m hoping to do this year is get some skiing in. I haven’t been in a few years and given the weather forecast? Looks like I might get to go sooner than I thought.

    I can understand that. You’ve gotta do what’s right for you, there’s no point being in a job that you don’t enjoy.

    Hi Julie! Just stopping by to catch up.

    Congrats on getting the job you wanted! Try not to over do it, but I bet the extra money will be nice for xmas :)

    Good for you for saying no to sd on the babysitting. A few more no’s and she will get the hint that she can not take advantage of you like that.

    That is crazy that your hubby actually had something medically wrong. Hope the meds really help out. Maybe there is a pill that Ken can take to prevent him from falling to sleep on the couch every night as soon as the boys are in bed?? But hey, I won’t complain..then I get to get on the computer! LOL

    Well take it easy and keep warm this weekend :)
