Flaky, late, disorganized???? Some people might have other words to describe me, good or bad, but I just don't understand what I has happened to me!!!! Let me explain... As I was getting my out of town Mothers Day cards ready to be mailed (yes, I realize it's Thursday) I was looking for the most recent pictures of the boys to send in the cards, in my searching I looked through my stack of cards that I never gave out (birthday cards, bosses day card - I know...), and Mothers Day cards, 2 of them as a matter of fact, both to my friend Courtney. Her first Mothers Day was in 2007, I purchased a card, wrote a note in it, stuck the boys' Easter pictures in it, but never mailed it. So, in 2008, I purchased another card - never mailed that one either. Now in 2009 I have 3 Mothers Day cards for my best friend - I'm mailing all 3! They will be late, of course, but they will make it there - some friend am I.
At some point I have lost the ability to do it all, maybe I never could, but I at least I faked it. I am neurotic, obsessive compulsive (like most pharmacists), and organized, but it sure seem like it anymore (okay, except for the neurotic part). I thought with this job I could get more done because I'm out and about all day, but I don't. So now everything I have to do has to be done in the evenings or on the weekends, that's sounds like sufficient time right? Possibly, but after work I come home to my family - dinner, baths, bedtime, laundry, grocery shopping, household chores (thank goodness I pay someone to clean), sometimes work, I run out of time and energy to do the other things I need to do, although important, but if it doesn't whine, fuss, cry, or stink, it's easy to put off until tomorrow, but unfortunately tomorrow has different plans! I know there are many people that can do all of the above and more and not miss anything, but obviously, that is not me! So, for the things I have missed or been late on, it's not that I don't care, I just haven't developed my superwoman powers yet, and Courtney - thanks for being my friend, even when I'm 3 years late on your first Mothers Day card!
Well, I think you are superwoman. You can work more than full time and still do everything you do! I can't manage to do more than 12 hours a week--and since I haven't gone back to work yet, I can't promise I can do that even! Oh--and my Mother's Day cards aren't being mailed until tomorrow, so...I will be even later! Ha, I beat you! Miss you!
ReplyDeleteGive yourself some credit - staying at home is a full time job! Working as a pharmacist is just to keep your sanity! Until you are 3 years late - I win! Love ya!
