Good morning! Let the stress begin!

Read the title of this post. I have a sign in my office that says that. And, I think that I have felt that way every day for the past five weeks.

I haven't posted in forever and a day. I haven't had time for anything except work. Work is seriously kicking my ass. I've thought about quitting more than once in the past four weeks. I've also burst into tears twice at work in the past week. I try to actually plan out the last two weeks of the month and nothing goes the way its supposed to. I have two reports due by Friday, one which hasn't been reviewed by my supervisor, and one that I haven't even written. I can't keep up with everything that is being demanded of me. Plus, we are at the very end of the process for buying our house. I found a house that I really like, we've done everything for it. But finalizing everything and going to settlement next week is stressing me out as much as work is. I bought a journal and promised myself that I would journal almost daily so I could vent and not stay stressed about things. But I don't feel like I have time to sleep, let alone do anything else. And, now Robbie is getting switched to a shift where he will always work in the evenings or nights. Another stressor.

I need a break. Once we go to settlement next week, I think that will lift some of my stress. I'm also hoping to go to South Carolina for a few days at the beginning of October. My main problem is that I find it difficult to just turn off work when I leave and stop worrying about the kids or their situations or whatever. I'm still trying to learn how to do that.

I thought maybe writing about it would help, but it's really not. So, I'll stop. But, I must say HOW 'BOUT THOSE REDSKINS?????
