I realize that I have much to be thankful for, I realize that my life is probably better than 89.2% of the people on this planet, and I realize overall, I have nothing to complain about...BUT:
I AM TIRED. This has been a long, long week - and it's not over yet. After 3 years of working full-time - and experiencing metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, anemia, and migraines as a result (I didn't have any of these things except the anemia ever before in my life), I realized I don't handle the "stress" I create for myself very well when I work full-time and carry full-time responsibilities of others on me as well as my own family, house, etc...mainly because my personality of being a control freak is not condusive to me just "letting things go" or "not worrying about things." When I came home at night, I took care of my family in the minimal sense, but I didn't take care of me - and my health suffered as a result.
So, even though it caused us to adjust our financial life style, I started working part-time this school year. And it was good. There were times I had to come in on a "day off" because someone was sick or I was needed to do something...but this week, as I've had busy days from morning til night, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that working full-time is NOT worth the money. Being away from home from morning til night leaves me with zero energy to fix a nice, healthy meal - and we fall back into the pattern of just eating junk to fill the hunger. And let me ask this: how can a house that we are not in turn into such a mess; I guess it becomes the dumping ground with no maid to clean it up??!
Oh well...if this is what God has for me this week, then He'll help me get through it. Pray I don't kill any 5th or 6th graders today as I substitute this class again, or worse, do something to embarrass my husband. Well, I think I finally got the lesson plans down, I just need patience to deal with the students. Say a little prayer for me today, my 3 faithful readers. ;)
