BWAH

It's shaping up to be a not-so-good day. It's just a feeling and I hope I'm wrong because I'm starting to feel a bit stressed.

Today is day three on my own. It hasn't been too bad, to be honest. I answered a fair share of phone calls yesterday and one of our techs was out yesterday so everything fell to the other. The tech is out again today and we have one client who will be especially cranky to hear that. Hubby is going to have to take care of her issue.

On top of answering phones, I've actually worked most of the day the past two days. I've taken stolen moments to do personal things, but with payday (the 1st) there's extra tasks involved and I now that it is just me, I can't afford to put things off or get behind.

I know you might be thinking, "oh, poor baby actually has to work." And I'm not really complaining, I'm just not used to having that many things to remember to do in a day. It'll get easier each day as I develop a new routine and integrate these new tasks.

In addition to that, I have to work Cowboy's Stadium tomorrow. I'm not really looking forward to that, but that's okay. It's not that I mind doing it--only that it chews up nine hours of a day and by the end I'm completely exhausted and can hardly do much else.

On Sunday I may have to make a whirlwind trip out of town to check out a drug rehab facility for my oldest DD. A seven hour drive one way. So I may really have no weekend. :(

Each time I have a change in routine (usually caused by dh changing his work schedule or the kids being out of school or my mom being sick) it throws me for a loop. It seems to take forever for me to find a new groove and start feeling productive again.

I often ask myself: Why am I always the one who adjusts to everyone else's life?

There's no satisfying answer.

I guess the only answer is that because we're women and that's what we do. It's not satisfying by any means, but there it is.

But I jumped back in this morning by getting up at 5am and getting some writing done.

Now I'm at work and making my daily list of things to get done.
