You are getting verrrry sleeeepy...

I feel kind of exhausted. Not like oh I need a nap exhausted, but holy shit I need a break exhausted. My job has been driving increasingly crazy to the point where last week I finally shot off an email to my boss listing the things that I was and was not hired to do. I am only one person. I cannot take care of myself and their family of 4 four, plus their dog and mine, 100% of the time. I just can't do it. I am supposed to be HELPING them and that line has been crossed to something else. They got the picture, and spent half the day profusely apologizing, but we will see how long they are more vigilant about what they expect of me. And, in the meantime, I have made the decision to pursue special education as a career and I'm excited about it. I've also become more accountable to myself to write, and for the very first thing I submitted published. I submitted a second piece and I'm waiting to see how that goes. I am going to continue trying. Stewart has been gone on the field exercise for what feels like forever and I miss him being a part of everyday. Just another 2and a half weeks an it'll be over. I'm super happy about that. And finally, I had a ather enlightening conversation last night with someone...and it has given me much food for thought. There are more things weighing on mymind than I feel like I currently have the capacity to deal with. That said, I am looking forward to my wonderful friend Tina visiting this weekend for some much needed fun and girl talk. No one ever warns you that life will be this fucking complicated.
