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.
