Grumpy. Overwhelmed. Exhausted

Most of my posts are fun, happy, exciting things I want to record and remember. Not today. I don't even know if I have time to write it all. I am grumpy and overwhelmed. Let me say, I love my job but it is so overwhelming right now. When I decided to stay on and be a working mom, it was supposed to be 2 days a week. Well I sometimes go in the office 2 days a week, but lately it's so much, much more. Starting tomorrow I'll probably work 20 days straight. One of our key employees quit and left the state leaving us to farm out his duties until he is replaced. Did I mention it is one of my busiest times of the year? I have 4 big projects a year and I am working on one right now, High School State Championships and Banquet.

To top it all off, the babysitter we have been using can't work for us anymore (perfect timing-SARCASM), my back-up babysitter (Meredith) is busy and can't help. My other awesome babysitter is on a mission. My go to friend in the neighborhood is going to Hawaii, And the rest of my babysitters are in school. So I am left to rely on family and it makes me feel guilty. My kids will be farmed out all over the place for the next few weeks and I feel horrible.

AND OF COURSE: Andrew is busier than he ever has been. GREAT in a way.... because when your self employed you don't make money unless you're working. SUCKS because we are so busy we don't know what to do with our kids. AND we don't see each other much.

Did I mention I am training to run in the Ragnar race? This should be interesting.... trying to find time to run. Here come the 4:30am wake up calls. I'm so tired.

Anyway. I am excited for May 19th. The banquet will be over and my summer interns start the following Monday so I can pawn all of my work off on them. Until then, wish me good luck. Pray for me. And we will see if I survive the next few weeks.

Cheers.
