tired

I'm tired of working so much.
I'm tired of at least 4 shifts a week.
You know you work like a crazy person when you work an 8 hour night and then head right on over to an immunization clinic for 5 hours.
I'm tired of giving people H1N1 shots.
I'm tired of dreaming about immunization instructions because I give them 300 times a day.
I'm tired of having not done a dang thing for Christmas because I work too much.
I'm tired of not being excited for Christmas because I have done nothing and because I have no house.
I'm tired of trying to organize everything for my house on my breaks at work.
I'm tired of the government taking so much of my money. What was the point of picking up so many extra shifts if they just take it all away?
My body is tired.
My husband is tired of me working so much.
My mind is tired.
And worst of all my kids are tired.
I'm tired of my little mama's boy being all about daddy.
"but mom I will miss you when you go to work" Most of all I'm tired of not hearing this. He doesn't even ask if I am working anymore. He just assumes I am.
That is just too much.
I'm tired.
I'm going to bed.
I'm going to call staffing in the morning and drop some shifts.

Kudos to working mom's everywhere.

I love you whitney!
I'm sorry you're so tired.
You are awesome, you know I'm telling the truth. Don't let "the man" get you down. If the government didn't take it then Health insurance would.
Love your house pics.

p.s. I am pro-rant, letting it all out is therapeutic right?

I about died this week when I had to have Sadie & I outta the house by 8, 2 days back to back. We do get up early but clearly I like to lounge around. Christmas is coming so you better take some time off. Ummm lindsay maybe had a few too many late ones herself fumbling over her words. Anyway the house.. it looks great sooo exciting

Whit, I totally feel your pain. It is so easy to say that you are going to cut back on working so much, but...when you need the money, there's no way around it. I would love not to have to work too, but sometimes it is a necessary evil. You can always call me and rant because I KNOW how crappy it is. I think you are amazing and can't believe what you can get done amidst all the craziness.
Love the house pics! Looks great.
