For months and at the very least weeks (which when totaled together equal months...) I have felt there are not enough hours in the day.
I enjoy my job. No, really. It's true. I enjoy the friends I've made in the process. Maybe that's why I enjoy my job as much as I do. My job is crazy and hectic and filled with never ending phone calls, hands to hold, bank accounts to reassure, be a marriage counselor and communicate "husband speak" and "wife speak" during home renovation projects, piles of paperwork, and knowing enough about almost everything because since I've been with my company longer than most I have a relatively good understanding of how things work because I get asked a LOT of questions every day. I'm a leader, teacher, researcher, project manager, sales person, communicator, secretary, gatekeeper, and smiling face.
I leave every night and still think about all of the things I havent gotten to yet. Important things. Things my boss is relying and counting on me to do. I have been so busy trying to be the best that I can be for everyone else that I have had a hard time keeping my head above water. I need more hours in the day.
Did I mention that I'm getting married in 2.5 weeks?? I still have meetings to attend, appointments to make it to, thank you cards to write, seating charts to make, more meetings to attend, checks to get to the correct vendors, and my sanity to keep.
I also have an amazing fiance, recently home from a four month deployment in Afghanistan, that I absolutely must make time for. I need more hours in the day. Period.
At some point my life will calm down and I will be on a plane to Paris. I will apologize to Jason in advance because that flight will probably be the first time in 5 months that I have absolutely nothing to do and I will sleep like a baby. He'll have his ipad to keep him entertained.
Until then I will constantly update my to do list. Squeeze in meetings where I can. Come home and spend an hour with Jason at lunch and watch The Price is Right. I'll make the most of my day and do what I can before I go to bed.
Eventually I'll get it all worked out. Or I'll figure out how to generate more hours in a day.
