Usually we get home from vacation and I'm like, whew I'm glad to be home! This year it wasn't like that. I wanted to stay at the cabin for another month! Maybe that has something to do with my job? Hmmm... I'm thinking so.
We're home, back to work, back to life, laundry, daycare drop-offs, grocery shopping, dishes... wow why don't we go on vacation more often?
Hmmm... pretty boring post huh... not sure I really have anything interesting going on this week. Have been going into work at 7 each morning this week to make up some of my vacation time... that has been seriously exhausting. Waking up my little Ellie bean at 6 a.m. just breaks my heart too. It is way to early for her. This morning we got up and were walking out the door and she said, "stay home?" I had to tell her that, "no, mommy has to go to work." She about made me burst into tears when she said, "Ellie work too mommy." I told her that I couldn't bring her to work... oh I wanna cry right now just thinking about it. You SAHM's are really very lucky you are able to do what you do. Ellie doesn't even go to daycare everyday. She goes 10 days per month... but is home all the other weekdays with Greg, because of his flexible 12 hr shift work schedule. So she only sees me on the weekends and evenings. BREAKS MY HEART. I am working on finding something different with a more flexible schedule but boy am I having a dang hard time doing so. I have applied for so many jobs. I've applied for a health educator position (which I have my degree in), a school office worker, with another social service agency and have heard NOTHING from most of these people. Nothing. Don't people realize that a little courtesy goes a long way... even sending a letter that says thanks but no thanks would appease me. Just something! I just think it is so rude.
Ok, done with that. My sis and I have something else in the works... since the last store situation is not going thru, for reasons outside of our control. We have another option and are pursuing that at this point and we'll see if it takes us anywhere. I'm hopeful that by the end of the year I will be on my way to owning a store with my sister and having the flexibility in a schedule that I am dying for!!
My cat Max is laying on the floor by me sleeping. He must be dreaming because his tail keeps moving, his paw keeps flickering and his belly is quivering... kinda funny.
I really need to go to bed... 5:30 is gonna come real soon. To soon.

It's always depressing coming home from a nice holiday with the family:(
I hope you have some good luck in finding a new job that you are happy with.

I agree that they could at least send a letter or something. That is frustrating! When I was applying for teaching positions, I mailed my resume to everyone, but no one ever called me back. Then I started emailing people to see if the position had been filled, and suddenly I was being scheduled for interviews. Maybe email them or give them a call?
I hope something works out for you in the job department! I know how it feels to have a job you dread going to every day, and I wouldn't wish that on anyone.
Boy I would love to go on vacation right now! We are looking into our options right now for when the baby comes. Eli doesn't want me working and it stresses me thinking we might be too strapped. My mom mad a proposition this morning saying we should both find something part time, then she could be off while I am working and vice versa and then the bambino won't have to be in daycare. Got my mind rolling! I hope the store thing works out for you guys. That would be so wonderful!
WAhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaa that is all I can say...because it is my life too...at least she home with daddy a lot =)
Max must be a reincarnation of Keith Moon.
I hate it, too. It's to the point where I just can't even think about it anymore. Mondays are the worst. Ugh.
I'm glad you guys had such a great trip and I hope that a new, more flexible job comes your way soon.
:)
I am glad you had such a fabulous time !I miss vacation!1 =)
