Due to the failing economy, I have been thrust back into working full-time. Yeah, not my idea of fun, but it does manage to pay the bills. Hubby’s job is not the most stable right now, so I took the plunge. I’m not saying he’s going to lose his job, but he works on straight commission. So if he’s not selling, he’s not getting any money. I hope he keeps his job, as it is a great paying job when people are buying, but they aren’t. And I can’t blame them, I’m not buying either! So posting has been kind of extinct here, and I apologize. I kind of looked at the last two weeks as “boot camp” for getting your life organized. And I realized how unorganized I really am! I forgot how exhausting working five days a week can be. I really do sympathize with everyone who has to. I did sympathize before, when I was working two days a week. I use to say to my one friend who goes to the same babysitter, “I just don’t know how you do it!” And, quite frankly, I still really don’t. I feel like I have no life Monday through Friday! I go to work, come home, wipe butts, clean up what I can from the aftermath of the day with dad, cook dinner, clean up, wipe more butts, baths for two girls and bedtime and then I get everything ready for the next day. Then my husband looks at me as if I have three eyeballs when I announce that I’m going to sleep at 9pm! I mean, WTF? I deserve an early bedtime at least 3 out of the 5 days, don’t I? I’m the one getting up at 5am every morning. I even get Brenna up before I go because if I don’t, it’s major meltdown city! But he DID let me sleep in until, OMG, 8:30 Saturday morning! Talk about pure heaven! I think he even shut the monitors off so I wouldn’t hear Brenna say: “Where’s mommy? I WANT mommy to get me up!!!!” So my new job is okay. It’s not great, yet, but okay. I say it like that because I left a really great job that couldn’t put me on full-time or offer me more hours. It was such a great job that I was actually crying when I wrote my resignation letter. I’ve never done that before! I do know a couple of people at my new job, since the profession that I’m in is a very tight circle. It’s overwhelming right now since they are training me in MRI. MRI is interesting enough, but slower and more involved than what CAT Scan is. I’m trying to break out of my box as a CT Tech, but when that’s all you’ve been doing for the past 9 years, it’s difficult. But, I’m back working for Radiologists, not Cardiologists, and I use to work with this group at the hospital I use to work at. I get along with most of them and they really are a great bunch of docs to work with. So, please, bear with me through this period. It took me at least 4 months to get use to not working weekends. I don’t know how long this transition period is going to be, but it ain’t gonna end next week! I must be sounding stressed since my mom has actually offered to come up next Sunday to watch the kids so I can go grocery shopping! Matt has a whole slew of trade shows starting next weekend and it’s my big shopping weekend! Thank God for Moms!
