Feeling overwhelmed
I don't know WTF my problem is, but I had myself a good cry today.
I just felt so overwhelmed. I was putting up my fall decorations and was thinking about my grandma and thanksgiving and just starting crying.
Then I was thinking about starting work on Monday. Gah. It puts knots in my stomach. Then I was thinking about fitting in a good workout schedule with working till 5. I havent worked till 5 since 2002.
I know it will all workout and we will all fall into a groove, but for some reason I feel like I am going to fail and let the B's down.
Re: Feeling overwhelmed
big changes always do that to me, too.
You'll do just great! You've worked full time before, but this will take some getting used to again. Just make sure to give yourself a chance to work it all out - things always do!
Good luck!
I know. I think I am super stressed b/c B is working nights and I am essentially a single mom this month. Had I got the job next month, I am sure I would feel differently...at least a little.
that would be hard - because when you're getting home, he'll be getting ready to leave.
That's hard for us when D has school on Tuesday/Thursday nights. He's only gone from 630-9, but it's still tough trying to "do it all" after working a full day!
At least it's only a month.
Things will probably be crazy through the holidays, and then you'll find your routine.
Linds - he will already be gone. I will only see him for 20 minutes in the morning before I leave for work.
I'm sure 630-9 seems like the longest night ever!
ugh - even worse. Sorry.
I wouldn't sleep well with D gone all night either.
Most nights are fine with R, but lately he has been on the warpath when we get home from the sitters. When D got home from class on Thursday, I just looked at him and said "You OWE me this weekend." (he had spent ALL weekend and everyday after work studying for his test...which meant that R and I were basically on our own, and I was forced to attempt and keep the kiddo quiet and out of the dining room)
OMG! Trying to keep B2 quiet = him being the loudest he can possibly be.
Last Sunday I was telling him to be quiet b/c daddy was sleeping. he points upstairs and says "dada" get up on top of his truck and screams and the top of his lungs, then puts his finger over his mouth and says shh"
I will never understand that child. LOL.
aren't they so funny?
When D has a migraine I tell R to be quiet because daddy doesn't feel good. When he see's D the next day he keeps asking him if he feels better!
It's totally understandable to be feeling overwhelmed!!! BUT, you'll be in a routine before you know it, and you'll be kicking ass, like usual.
