I’ve been struggling for the past week or more and I don’t know what to do about it.
\nI’m definitely tired, in spite of a couple good nights’ sleep. Baby’s been waking up a lot and fussing and crying through the night.<\/p>\n
I’m worried about my husband’s health.<\/p>\n
I am not functioning well at work. All I want to do is read blogs about decluttering. Really, that’ll do it for me! At a minimum, I’d hoped to keep a more reasonable pace of work this semester. As in, take lunch breaks. Leave on time. Take water breaks. Instead, I’ve realized I have as much or more work and deadlines are coming quickly. I need to behave like a professional and I don’t want to. I”m stressed by the work, struggling to get all these tasks done, unable to find teh time to focus on the big projects.<\/p>\n
I”m concerned by my presentation at work. How I dress. Is my hair done. How I chair meetings. Ways to better organize and introduce issues. The need to think through my case work more effectively. Yuck. I need to grow when I’d rather just stay home.<\/p>\n
And naturally, today is the first day baby’s really seemed to want me during the day. IT took a while to leave my mom’s because she wanted to nurse. And nurse and nurse. And then she was asking for me at the end of the day.<\/p>\n
And it’s 10:30 and she just went to bed and I’m exhausted and can’t believe my week is only half over.<\/p>\n
I”m ready to quit my life but that’s not an option. At a meeting today they were going over all the international exchange programs they have coming up, and I would love to be in a position to do something like that.<\/p>\n
I wish this was just grumpiness. Instead, it’s stress, overload, exhaustion and something else, not sure what.<\/p>\n
With that: I have a bill to pay and a bed to get to.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
