I've been staying up late all week to get my work done and pulled some all nighters, taking 2-4 hr nap in between working when my eyes couldn't stay open. I really wanted to quit yesterday because I don't know how much longer I can continue to work like this. I haven't cooked all week or had much time with my kids. I even had to miss seeing them in their day camp show today...talk about mommy guilt. I'm thankful that DH's schedule is flexible enough that he was able to drop off and pick up the kids and be at the performance.

Anyways, this morning I talked to my manager about some work that needed to be done and at the end, he congratulated me for making my 10 year work anniversary. I wasn't very enthusiastic at the time from all the work stress but he later told me that I have been an important part of people's lives and he sent a note to everyone I work with. I started receiving nice notes from people and it made my day go by much better. Some copied my manager and one person sent me a note for our company's thank you gift program. And just about an hour ago, I opened the door and received a box of Mrs. Field's cookies from my new manager congratulating me for 10 yrs. Funny how a bad week is turning around just by a few nice notes and a box of cookies!

I still have more work to do and am hopeful that next week will turn out better and that I have some "me" time for exercise!

Thanks for reading!

Ahhh Winnie, that sounds like so much work! I don't function well with lack of sleep. I don't know how you are doing it!! At least they showed some appreciation. Hopefully you have a better week next week. You need to have some time for yourself!! (((HUGS)))

Thanks gals for listening...just needed to get it all out since I was driving my DH crazy all week. That's what happens when you don't see people IRL at work. I feel better now that I had time to get some exercise and I got some sleep last night.

I know how hard it is to work at that pace. You can't keep that up for very long. I hope you get some well-deserved rest soon!

At least it helps to know all your efforts are appreciated.

Peace,
Karen
