Pick Me up Please - Hopefully by the Time I Wakeup.

[janetupnorth]

For those who know me (which you guys have just met the online me)...I am VERY self-sufficient, very active and very low maintenance (as in I am proud of the fact that I don't get the usual "mood swings" we get as women.)

However, I realized a few hours ago that I am spent this week!!!! I normally don't need an emotional pick-up EVER, but this time I do!

I had a VERY rough day at work Friday - some changes to peoples' responsibilities that impact my taking care of our warehouse as an engineer. A person was put in as a liasion to an outside company on our conveyor systems that has no mechanical/electrical/conveyor knowledge and is known for miscommunication, etc. I was pretty upset that I will have to "babysit" that aspect now when I could do it myself without a problem. I went from that straight to a funeral for a coworker who died of a heartattack Tues. a.m. at age 64...not old, but not young either. If she didn't have the day off, it would have happened at work. I just got done teaching CPR/First Aid to 7 people in our company the Thurs/Fri before and it would have been very hard to debrief from that if it happened at work. She was a sweet lady and worked for me for a year in 2002.

Already being emotionally drained, the weekend was non-stop. Yesterday, I went straight from work all day to the Fire Dept. to church to set up hardware/software for our AWANA Grand Prix...got home at 10 p.m. only to wake up at 11:30 with a 3-year-old vomiting which kept me up all night except about 2-3 hours. Then today was work, straight to church for the Grand Prix where I ran the race software for the first time without having a chance to explain to leaders/parents how it worked. The night was a blur. On the way home, I realized I'm spent. (Oh, and did I mention my catalog host for March cancelled Mon. night).

So, short story LONG - thanks for listening and a few prayers for the rest of my week would be WONDERFUL to wake up to. (Now that you know way more about my life than I usually share at once!)

On a good note, my daughter's car won 2nd place for speed - we just made it this W/E and are not car builders in our family...our first entry in the Grand Prix did well.

You are in my prayers, too, as I call it a day. Sounds like you've been hit
by a blizzard of sorts. May God bless you with a peaceful night, and that
you wake up refreshed.

I have felt like this too this past week....not very emotional otherwise. I will pray that as you start this morning, you will be relaxed and rested. Remember....this is a new day you have been given.....what will you do with it?
Have a great day!

Thanks Melissa - you too!!!!

I'm a little more rested, a little more relaxed - looking forward to leaving work for an hour at lunch to have lunch at my daughter's school with her!

I'm POSITIVE things will get better...as I posted in another thread for someone... "And it came to pass..."

Thanks guys for the little boost - hopefully it'll get even better as I catch up on sleep!

Glad you're feeling a bit better. I'm sending happy thoughts your way.
