work

Sometimes I think it must be nice to have a job you can go to each day! Don't get me wrong, I LOVE staying home and working part time...but it's also a lot more stressful than going to work! I look back on the days when I did work full time and realize now that I should have enjoyed it more. Which also makes me think I should stop with this thought of it being nice to go to work...and enjoy what I am doing now! Ha! I just stopped my own thoughts.

What led me to this thought in the first place is poor Jacob has had this random cough for a little over a week. Last night he started running a fever and it has continued through to this morning. I am going to take him to the doctor. I'm sure he will tell me it's just a virus and it has to run it's course...but I'd rather be safe than sorry! Anyway, I tend to be a worrier. I worry about him having this cough, now this fever...is he drinking enough, has he peed enough, is his throat sore, what time can I give him the next dose of ibuprofen...things like that are constantly running through my mind. I think I stress myself out. So, when you are at work...you have things that take your mind off of the immediate situation. You can sit and chat with fellow co workers and have coffee all while doing your job. Of course I'm sure it would be in the front of my mind and I wouldn't be able to concentrate on my job, so what exactly is my point?

I have no idea.

I'm just worried about my baby...I'll let you know what el doctor says after we get home!

Need I mention that my continuing education is due soon? I have got to get that figured out today. UGH.

Ashley- I truly do know how it feels when your mind is just totally flooded with stuff. I agree that I should have relished more of those days when all I did was work full-time and the day's biggest problem was what I was going to do after I got OFF of work.

Being a mom is filled with worries and questions and wondering if you are ever doing anything right. But I've seen you in action with those boys and you are an awesome mom! I can see you working things out aloud in your blog and I am so glad you started one for yourself. I do that quite often on mine and I welcome suggestions from those who know and love me.

Hope your little guy will be feeling better soon.

Poor Jacob, I hope he is better soon. I know what you mean when you just worry and stress over them. It's hard.
Love your new blog, I'll have to keep checking in to see what's up!

I hear you there! I would love to go to work maybe two days a week. I am thinking once my mother retires that I might sub a bit. We shall see though.

I don't know how I would find the time to go to work everyday, it seems I am so busy at home.
