February frenzy
It's been an entire month since I've posted. All of my friends who have blogs are just as busy as I am. I can't imagine where you all find the time when I just can't!
I think of all of you often...I hope you know that. I don't want you to forget me. Selfish? maybe, but that's why I'm here now. .
What to say?
sighhh...
I'm well. My family is well.
The changes at school have been a challenge. I stepped forward and found myself "promoted". Now, this was not forced upon me. I made the decision to accept the challenge. I took the tests. Sat before the panel. Endured the interviews. I thought it was a door opening...a good solution for my dilemma.
I'm a bit disheartened. The changes haven't been what I thought they would be. At the same moment I was offered the job, I learned my pay wouldn't be what I'd expected. Somehow, I was misinformed about how the change in position would affect my pay. I guess it shouldn't matter so much but I thought it would make life a bit easier. Take the edge off? I thought we'd finally be able to save some for travel. Or a rainy day. Or something.......
I'm in a position with a lot more responsibility and questioning if it's worth it. The stress level is high. This job is insane. So many little details to learn (with absolutely NO training) and so many people depending on me. I've worked at this school since the day it opened. I knew everything about my job. I was comfortable and confident and I never took home the stress of the day no matter what kind of day it was. Now, I've simply moved to another desk and suddenly I'm starting all over. I feel like the new girl, only I'm not. I'm managing the office while training the others with nobody there to train ME. I feel out of control and overwhelmed. Howver, it HAS been just over a month. The staff is very appreciative and I still have the comfort of familiarity. I know in the grand scheme of things, this isn't important. I'll survive. Hopefully, it'll get better over time.
I just don't feel like there are enough hours in the day. Does anybody else feel this way? I just can't fit it all in. Work. Chores. Fun. Relaxation. Can't do it all...
How do YOU fit it all in?

It's my early morning routine.
It's my before retiring routine.
Now--ask if laundry got taken out of the dryer, or if I worked on the budget for work like I'd planned to. Ask if I bothered to actually 'cook' dinner (which probably it's a blessing I didn't! LOL), and ask if I even bothered to put the dishes away.
NOPE!
Nothing's gonna wander off if I let 'em sit.
They promoted me to a position with more responsibility and I'm in that 'adjustment' period. Once I get the rhythm, I'll be okay. It's humbling to go from 'having a clue' to 'no clue whatsoever' about 'stuff'. It's a learning curve for me. But I'm fairly familiar with being tossed in the deep end of the pool. LOL
SWIM or don't....I'm pretty determined.
And really, it's not more than I can handle. Though it might FEEL that way, it's simply me underestimating my abilities.
(this has become my new mantra! LOL--feel free to snag it and call it your own!)
*HUGE hugs*
Gosh....it was good to find you'd posted! (do that again when it works for ya, will ya?! ;-) )
I feel a little the same about my job, except I really enjoy it - the work, not the stress. I work with great guys and they treat me well. I have fabulous relationships with my suppliers. It's all good. Except I do ridiculously long hours, including weekends, and I'm too tired most of the time to have a life. Not to mention, I had no training either. I've learnt along the way. Tough!
It's good to see you. Miss you!! xx
