Too Big of a Bite...

I've been feeling guilty about never picking up extra shifts for people. I really haven't worked too many overtime shifts since the girls were born. I had my time doing long stretches in dispatch, working for other people who were off doing family things with their kids.



There are so many people right now who have to use 100+ hours by the end of the year, or they will lose all that time. So, I'm signing up for the overtime...

I've been doing 10 and 12 hour shifts. On a day that I only work an 8 hour shift, I feel like it goes by so quick!

But being so willing to work has had some consequences too. This week alone, I've got 22 hours of overtime. I'm exhausted. Ryan is watching the girls by himself all day so I can sleep since I worked until 4am. Then he watches them all evening while I'm at work again. I feel like I've hardly seen the girls this week. The house work has gone downhill. We've been sick. It's been quite a week.

Next week is a little easier for my schedule, so maybe we'll have more time for enjoying the week...
