Well I haven’t blogged in about 20 days and my posts for November were, well…very few, lol. I am sorry that my blogging has petered out but I am just so tired and busy. Blogging rarely crosses my mind these days and when it does I am usually too busy to do it.
At this point my life consists of working afternoons and doing what I can to squeeze in my family and friends around that schedule. From 4pm till midnight I’m stuck at work. Sometimes I hate it because I miss so much of my kid’s lives and I only see my husband on the weekends or on my day off. When he leaves for work I am sleeping and when he returns home from work I’m already gone..and when I get home from work…he is sleeping. It’s not exactly a fun routine and it makes it hard for him and I to get time for… “us”
Working this schedule is hard on my body and mind. I’m tired much of the morning hours. And between 5 and 7 pm when I am off work I am fighting to not pass out in my chair. And then by 8pm my body kicks into work mode and I can’t fall asleep till midnight or 1 am. My normal routine?? Well, during the day I relax on the couch, play with Drew, care for my granddaughter and get ready for work that evening. If I find a burst of energy you may find me cleaning something, lol. For instance… yesterday I fixed my closet, cleaned my room, did laundry, and cleaned Drew’s room.
I always feel like I am running out time these days to get stuff done. I tend to have a lot of running around to do before work on most days…So basically when I am off work, I frequently hide in my house. I don’t mean to be a recluse but I am tired and I miss my family. And I want a day or two of not running around. Of not being bound to a time schedule. And honestly all I really want to do is hang out with Rick, talk with my kids, watch some tv and relax. So I usually avoid the outside world on my days off and sadly that does include this blog too.
I don’t know when I’ll blog again. I hope that my interest and drive to write returns…but I just don’t know.
It sounds like a full plate! Congratulations a little late. I didn’t know there was a little one in the family. Good luck getting on a schedule. Those are tough hours.
