Obsessing over: Being organized. I feel so stressed out during the 4 days that I work. Like seriously start to feel ill just thinking about work on Monday Sunday evening. yuck. So I'm trying to make myself less stressed by making sure that I accomplish as much as I can for my 4 day work week ahead of time. So starting this week I made myself some Crock-Pot oatmeal (that pretty much sucks compared to how I was expecting it to turn out) that I can eat for breakfast at work. I also bought one of those pre-cooked rotissary chickens and made chicken salad (I used dried cherries and grapes instead of cranberries) and boiled eggs to make Egg Salad for the week (though I have more than I can really eat in a week, I wonder if you can freeze it?) Both of those recipes turned out really good for being healthy versions, I kind of can't wait to eat my sandwich for lunch today. I also bought another chicken that Addison and I ate for dinner last night, will use the breast meat tonight for something else. Hopefully planning ahead will save me some time/stress. I need to remember to pack Addison's lunches for the week also when I don't just send her with a lunchable (you know lazy lunch). Perhaps I should invest in more than one of these so that I can pack for 4 days at once...actually consider a few more purchased considering I just got a $25 amazon card for belated Christmas from my boss this morning. Cha-Ching!
Working on: Trying to organize some Valentines Day mini photo sessions if I can swing it. I don't know why but valentines day is one of my favorite holidays for pictures...perhaps it's my love of all things Pink.
Thinking about: Retirement, or rather never working again for anyone but myself, every minute of every day that I am working. I seriously don't know what my deal is lately but I DO NOT want to be here. I don't even hate my job, I'm just really over it. I'm sick of stressing out, running around like a chicken with my head cut off 4 days a week, Only seeing my kid 2 hours a day. Sending her to a sitter for a ridiculously long time every day. Then I feel guilty on the weekend when I need to do something without her around and have to find someone to watch her yet again. Frustrating. Can I just quit yet? for real.
Anticipating: This Saturday Addison starts her gymnastics class (well we both do since its a mom & me class) Should be fun, she was DYING to "play with the kids" the day that we went to sign her up, like temper tantrum dying. She should love it, lets just hope she can focus her energy!
Listening to: The sound of the refrigerator running next to me and myself typing.
Drinking: Water
Wishing: I was still in bed or at least just waking up now!
