I need to apologize to a lot of people,
I have not been getting things done in a timely manner.
 For the last 2 weeks I have been chief taxi driver for the family.
I get up at 6:15 am to get to work by 7am, locally it's not far.
I get off at 1pm, I run home and change clothes usually.
Then I have been in the car for close to 3 hours 3 days a week.
Some of it is distance, but most of it is traffic.
Then when I get home I just happen to have Joseph with me!
So it's him and I till Grandpa can give me a minute.
But Grandpa is also the Bishop of our ward (church) and is often
called away to do visits or meetings.
 
This will give you an idea on how tired I am, mostly mentally, which makes me very emotional!
Anyhow, we took the family out to dinner Monday night, there was 8 of us total, towards the end hubby took Joseph out to let him run. So I paid the bill, lets just say that waitress got a VERY good tip!
Because my brain just wasn't functioning to figure it out.
 
Then today at work, like I said I get off at 1pm. I gather my stuff, log off my computer, shut it all down.
Turn to one of the coordinators and said see you tomorrow, I'm off to drive.
She looked at me and said "your leaving at 12? is that a new time?
will it be a regular thing? Took me a minute......I said no it's 1pm......
LOL, she was right, it was only 12!
 
*********************
It is killing me to be so far behind!
I have some items I special ordered for people.
They are all set aside.....do you think I can find the
emails that say who they are for??
Your right, I can't!
So if you asked me to order anything for you,
I may have it! Just email and remind me!
*******************
 
I am seriously going to come up with some guide lines for ordering.
Hopefully it will help me end some of my confusion.
****************
I am also going to stop ordering from a few companies
automatically when they have a new release.
Sometimes I feel like what's the point of me getting it if
I can't even order it for 2 weeks after the release?
When the company has been selling it themselves or when they have a sale?
I'm lucky to break even most of the time so seriously, What's the point?
 
I had another company leave a big chunk of my order out of the box,
Invoiced and billed me for it, but it wasn't in the box.
Took them 2 weeks to get it to me, I was not a happy camper.
 
Still another, run out of product so I didn't get all that I ordered.
I'm guessing I was the last order to go out! Hmm, why was that??
****************

Some pictures from today's drive, I took Joseph for his shots.
He was a trooper, Gramma cried more then he did!
Seriously, I said I get emotional when tired!
He only cried for a minute, then we got in the car and he kept
twisting his arm to see the band aid. Never looked at the one on his thigh?

He finally got the band aid off and it became a toy!
Silly Boy! Amazing how much he has started talking
just in the last month! What a Temper he has!
 
Sorry didn't mean to write a book, just wanted everyone to know
I am slowly plodding through orders!

Thanks Everyone!

  1. Terri, I can totally understand where you are coming from. You need to take some time for yourself and get some rest, if you don't it doesn't get any better. Believe me I know, sometimes it is easier said than done. But you will be good to anyone if you do not get some rest. Just take care of yourself, I had already emailed you about what I had ordered.
    Take care

  3. Terri.. I live your life, sorta... I'm in the same boat... up at 5:50am, pack hubbies lunch..get ready for work, (sneak on here while eating my breakfast) then, make mine and son's lunch.. get him up, and then make sure hubbies up and got his breakfast.. then start the cars, get my junk for the day.. leave.. work until 1:00/1:30/2:00*ish* depending on the day.. then go home shove lunch in my face.. pick my kid up from school... turn around (the 3 blocks over corner) and pick up my Nephews 5 & 6 yr olds.. watch them until who knows when, usually fix them dinner... homework, some kind of entertainment.. ie: Lib., park, cat place, crafts, etc. take them home (half an hour away.. cause their house burnt down... longggggggggg story) and then by the time I get back, start my own dinner... kids' stuff.. and then maybe do dishes.. or laundry, etc.. then start some stuff to pack for the lunches that I can do the day before and maybe sit here.. *and fall asleep at key board.. lol*
    And hub's is gone alot too... 70+hours aweek..
    I know your pain!
    But remember to grab some me time.. even if it's just a hot bath or a nice fruit snack or a book before bed.. LOL.. if you don't fall asleep reading it like I do.....
