I’m not complaining, well ok I guess I am complaining (but just a little bit), because being able to work at home is a great blessing but BUT I’ve been working round the clock lately!  Last night I was up until 4:30am working on projects then I was right back at work by 8:30am so it just feels like work work work is all I do. 

I did take pretty much all day last Friday off to get my nails and hair done – I mean really a girls gotta do her ‘girly’ things right every once in awhile.  Plus my computer mouse died last Friday – I tried taking the ball out and cleaning it but it still would NOT work so I had no choice but to go to Wal-Mart to get a new mouse.  Once I got there I was like oh I really need a haircut and my nails done so that’s how that came into play.

Anyways…..the point I was making was that I was feeling really burnt out and yesterday the thought even crossed my mind that I was ready to go back to the ‘career’ world outside the home and give up on what I’ve wanted for so long – to be able to be here for my son.  But I know I’m right where I’m meant to be – I feel peace about being a work at home mom (even though some people still think that I lay around all day every day and don’t work…LOL!).  I know that God opened this door and made it possible for a reason so I just have to stick with it.

Anyways, I ended up taking a few hours off to visit and socialize with a group of friends today.  We went to my all time favorite place to eat – La Senioreta – and that proved to be a challenge because of this diet (no it’s not a diet it’s a lifestyle change, I’ve got to get that through my thick skull!) I’m on but I ate a salad and was fine!

Taking a few hours off ended up proving to be the best thing for me!  I left with a positive attitude, a smile on my face, a clear head and a ready to face the ever growing list of work projects!  I’ll work all weekend and try to get as caught up as possible because Caleb is gone to his dads so I won’t feel guilty about working all hours!
