It’s My Imagination

Busy, Busy Busy!

I went back to work part time in January and since then, I feel like I’m going from one task to the next and not really completing much of anything.  I’m only working part time, and you’d think that would still leave me tons of time to get things done for myself, but working 20-25 hours a week really does cut in to my computer time!

I typically work 9-2 during the week and pick up a few hours on the weekends when I have to. Before work I try to get laundry done and the kitchen cleaned and after my shift, I try to work on my blogs for an hour or so while checking my email.  I am working from home, so I don’t have any commute time thank goodness!  My daughter gets home from school around 4, so I try to be done with things by then so that we can spend some time together before dinner.  I start dinner around 5 and when my husband gets home around 6, we sit down to eat.  We try to spend time together as a family in the evening, and I try not to sit with my laptop, but it seems I just can’t keep up with returning comments and visiting all my favorite bloggers.  I feeling stressed and losing the enjoyment that blogging has always brought me in the past.

Today is my day off.  I started at 6 am by taking my husband to work.  You see, he was in an accident on Monday and so our other vehicle is out of commission and is sitting at the body shop waiting on the insurance adjuster.  So, I took him to work today.  At 6:30 I was on my work computer building my next schedule, something I have to do every Thursday morning.  At 6:50 I drove my daughter to school for her early morning band sectional.  I then picked her up at school at 8:40 to take her to her 9 a.m. orthodontist appointment.  I dropped her back off at school at around 9:45 and finally got myself home to a cup of coffee at 10.

I was going to sit with my laptop and enjoy some downtime, but then I realized I needed to get some laundry done and decided to get dinner going in the crockpot.  I went with bean & suasage soup, I hope it tastes good and that my daughter will eat it!

So, finally, at 11:30, I am sitting down and writing this post.  I feel bad that I can’t keep this blog updated more regularly, it frustrates me.  I am going to pamper myself a little this afternoon.  I’m getting a hair cut at 4 and it’s long overdue!  I’ll pick my husband up from work on my way home and we’ll come home to eat the meal that’s cooking now in the crock pot.  I need a day to breathe!
