Can’t Wait to Slow Down

I have been ignoring the state of my house, except I finally threw in a load of laundry this week after my husband told me he had no clean shirts to wear to work tomorrow! I rarely cook anymore and if I do, it’s a 10 minute meal! And I’m not really getting any quality time with the kids and I’m SO missing them! At least one was in day camp all week, so he was busy and worn out. But this camp registration job I’m doing is just getting busier and busier! My boss asked if it’s slowed down now that camps have started. LOL! Good thing you couldn’t hear the insanity behind that laugh.

I’m the type that likes to stay on top of things and return phone calls right away. I can do it, but it’s been at the expense of other things. Important things! I’ve barely seen my husband, and you may have read how our last date night went (see previous post)! When I finally do go to bed, I can’t sleep because I have too much on my mind; I need to call her back first thing in the morning, Did I post that on that one account??, I should have checked my messages one more time… I’m not trying to complain, I’m enjoying this job, it’s been fun being back in the work force, it’s bringing in some much needed cash, and I can still have my kids with me while I work. I just can’t wait to slow down again. I miss my family and my sleep! My favorite things, in that order!

Not to mention, my boss calls me up yesterday and first says, “are you sitting down?” Then, “Don’t freak out.” What a lead in! Now that I’m freaking out, but don’t know why….I find out my art supplies did not ship out so I have nothing for my campers Monday! Nothing! No paint, no paper, nothing. And there’s no time even if they shipped now! After some hyperventilating, she sent someone (thank God she didn’t make me do it) off to a local art supply to get all the items I ordered or at least as close as she could get. I still can’t sleep just because I don’t know for sure what I’m ending up with and if I’ll have all the right things for the projects I planned. I’m not freaking out! At least not outwardly! I’m good at improvising, but it’s killing me not knowing! Monday will be interesting, that’s for sure. I know we’ll have a blast no matter what, though.

I don’t know if I’ll have a chance to post next week. I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep up with registration while teaching camp. I don’t know much. But I do know, I’m going to try to sleep once more. And if you’re waiting for me to call you about camp, I will be working tomorrow morning, so don’t freak out!
