President's Day Weekend

I was off for 3 whole days. It felt good to do absolutely nothing. Although when given the chance to do nothing I usually make myself busy. Friday we went to Emeryville so Jake could have work done on his birthday Tattoo. Saturday (Valentine's Day) we went to breakfast and ran all of our errands (grocery store, target). We spent the evening chillin' and catching up on Grey's Anatomy. Sunday I woke up early and started cleaning the house. With the rain the back yard is a giant mud pit. Howie (our boxer) loves to go out and play in it and then run thru the house. Needless to say my house was disgusting. I spent about 4 hours cleaning from top to bottom. I go back to work tonite but before that Home Depot is going to come out to give a quote on putting in new windows. Starting the week off with a bang, it is going to be another crazy week. Getting our taxes done, having our new Sleep Number bed delivered and work, work, work. Makes me tired just thinking about it. I have a feeling this is going to be a really good week though, hopefully good news to come and at least breaking even with taxes.

Exhaustion

Exhaustion is setting in on me. I am working 5 days at two different hospitals for a total of 52 hours this week. The money is nice and we have been able to make a lot of improvements to the Purple Palace, but I am really close to being done with the whole thing. I feel like all I am doing is working, sleeping and going to the grocery store. I am also sick of people telling me 'Oh you're young you can do it'. Argh! I don't care how old you are only one day off at a time is difficult. I think the worst part of the whole thing is I don't get to spend any time with my family. On average I see Jake about 10 minutes a day and usually I literally only see him, because when I get home he is on the Treadmill or lifting weights. I talk to him on the phone more than in person, and some days the only thing I get to tell him is I love him. It's not just my job, it's his too. They fired a Program Director and they are having him do that job on top of his regular stuff, so he is gone most days from 9-8, not to mention the non-stop phone calls and endless email checking. Oh and the bonus is they aren't paying him any extra. Great! I hate to be such a downer, it is just starting to get to me. I am hoping they will start paying him more or give him less work (or both) soon. I worry about how this will affect our relationship and if it will make having/starting a family difficult. Things will get better soon, it just really sucks right now.
