Monday, Monday

OK, take two.
I am going to try this whole blog thing because my loving husband Matt told me that he thought that it would be a good release for me. I would have to tell anyone who is reading this blog that God blessed me with my perfect mate. He gets me like no one else ever could. He is being so good to me these days, he is very understanding of my lack of time. With working 40+ hours a week at the old Home Depot, this new position is kinda kicking my butt. I don't know what is harder learning a whole new department or learning a bunch of new paperwork. I also think that it would help if people would not give me a million other things for me to do too. I do love my job. I thought that I would be a little more organized more then a month into my new position, but I do still struggle to stay on top of things. Also, I am probable in meetings for at least 6 hours a week. Mondays are crazy days, they start at 4:00am, I get up and get to work at 5:00 start by checking up on the day before and working on the 6 reports that need to be worked in the morning. There is a 9:00 meeting then at 11-ish I have been covering Jayne's lunch, give my mid shift a break then try and get a lunch myself before it is time for me to go home. Today, like last week I ran out of time for my own lunch. It is OK, i got to come home an hour early. When I got off work today I took a little nap until Matt got home. Then we went to the dump then went to an early dinner. When we got home, I got a call from Connie, she is Tanya my mom's aide boss. She said that she is worried about my mom. She was reminding me that I need to get my FMLA paper work turned in so that I can spend some extra time with my mom with out loosing my job. She wanted us to know how fast this disease can work. It is scary to hear that. I worry about her all of the time. when I am there and when I am not there. I think that I was dreaming about taking her to the doctor this morning when Matt woke me up he said it is 4:05 and I said 6,7,8, I don't know how many times we can go to the doctor. So, I promised Connie that I would get that paperwork done tomorrow, for when i need it. Then, I called Amy and Kate to let them know what she said and John to see how mom was doing today. Then I called Sandra my mother-in-law to let her know what was going on because I have been sucking at that lately. I called my friend Jayne from work and she explained the FMLA and said that she would help me plow through that paperwork tomorrow. Well, we ended up talking for a good long time. She has been so good to me.
So all and all a busy kinda day and I did not even get my laundry done like I had planned. Whatever, I guess I can only do what I can do. I think that I am going to fill out a calender I got for me and Matt to go on the fridge so that we can keep track of important things. you know like bills. :)
OK, I don't know if anyone will read this but I feel better writing about my Monday
