I can't believe it has been two months since I posted. A lot has happened and honestly I'm exhausted.
My dad sold my childhood home. My sister and I went to pack up all of our stuff back at the end of October. My dad is now in a condo which I haven't even seen. I have no desire to go back home mostly because it doesn't exist. I miss my dad but it seems weird to go visit him elsewhere. Honestly there is a lot more drama involved with my dad, sister, and myself that has happened but I don't feel like broadcasting to anyone. I do have to say I feel really alone after the whole event. I feel like I've lost my whole family and don't know if things will ever be the same. The worst part about this is W may never know my what is left of my family. I can only hope for the best and that time will heal the wounds. Anyway.....
W turned 11 months earlier this week and is doing awesome.
Yesterday, I had a break down in my boss's office. I was once again rejected in my request for my hours to be reduced during my 6 month review. I don't know how other moms do it. How do you stay balanced being a working mom and keeping your sanity? I feel like I need to write Santa a letter and ask for a clone for Christmas or at least a housekeeper like Alice from the Brady bunch. A girl can dream.
Baxter the hound dog is still sick and after multiple exams we still have no answer. Sunday he is going to see a trainer to see if some of his issues are really behavioral rather than medical. But, we will see - fingers crossed.
In other news - some days I run, some days I don't. We are still working on getting the house together. We painted another room, ordered a couch, and are working on building some bookshelves. Progress is slow but at least it is progress.
Looking forward to a 3 day work week and a 4 day weekend. Any Thanksgiving plans? I'm going to stay in my PJs all day Thanksgiving - I can't wait!

I know that all must be so difficult. I'm thinking of you, and I am glad you have some nice, relaxing Thanksgiving plans. :)

I totally agree on the finding time to do anything. I am usually super tired after Lucy goes to bed so I relax and go to bed fairly early. But I have been getting up very early some days a week, then I can work like 6-3 and get lucy from daycare earlier than a normal day to spend time with her. Ont he days I don't go to work early I want to run those early days. I'm just finishing nursing and so that will be a lot easier becuase I won't have to plan around that.
have you asked your boss if you can keep your hours, but change the hours? I do a ton of work before Lucy even wakes up.
Leah,
Thanks for the ideas. I've tried to move up my hours as well but I was denied that too. My life revolves around pts so there isn't much flexibility all the time. I hope you and Lucy are doing well.
Lesley,
Thanks for the well wishes - same to you.
((hugs)) I completely understand how you feel with the family issues and isolation. Please shoot me an e-mail if you need someone to talk to. I hope you are blessed to enjoy time with your husband's family.
I hope you and your family have a warm and relaxing Thanksgiving. Enjoy the time with them.
