So....
The 1st part of this week was horrible. I was down, depressed, ready to quit my job and just ready to run away and hide for a while. I still need and want to hide, but unfortunately that's just not an option when you have two kids that need your attention.
The reason I was so ready to quit my job is that I heard thru the grapevine that I don't have enough work to do or that I have too much 'downtime'. When I heard this, I was like "WTF!!" If someone could please come over here and show me when I actually have downtime. And things just got worse from there. I felt like I was being slammed against the wall and it pissed me off, royally. The problem is half the people I work for haven't a clue what the other half are giving me to do and vice versa. So they assume since one isn't giving me something that I have downtime. The problem is since I'm the only executive assistant in the entire company now, EVERYONE is coming to me for help.
The problem is I can't really go anywhere now and start out making the amount of pay that I'm making now. AND to top it off, effective next week I'm getting a 12.5% increase in my pay, which amounts to a $5000 per year increase. That's a huge raise, so damn I MUST BE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT.
So, I guess I'll stick it out here, get signed up for school (yes I KNOW i have been talking about it for god knows how many freaking years) and make the best of it.....maybe if i can get my degree then I CAN go somewhere else and make more money.

It's baseball season again. Both of my boys are playing this year. My oldest son has already played 3 games this season and his team is currently in 1st place, winning all games. Last night they beat the team who is ALWAYS #1 in the league. My youngest son is playing t-ball this year. They had practice last night and he's so cute out there. He is actually the smallest on the team but I guarantee he's probably the meanest. LOL.... I have to keep watching him because there is one little boy on the team that likes to pick, pick, pick and yesterday he was picking at my son and I was afraid my son might just turn around and hit him (after all he has a brother who is eight years older than him).
Tomorrow is Opening Ceremonies for the Season and Picture Day and then my oldest son has a ballgame tomorrow afternoon. My youngest son has an Easter party at the church to go to as well as the baseball activities. It's going to be a fun day tomorrow running around like a crazy woman getting everyone where they need to be.
And I'm going to make it a point to go see my parents this weekend. I HAVE TOO!
Another thing that has to be done, my oldest son has a project that is due on Monday, so our friday evening will consist of getting that done.
AND guess who hasn't even started on TAXES YET! I'm having a feeling I'll be filing an extension.
April is going to be a crazy month. Things going on this month:
1. Baseball games every week and weekend.
2. Bridal Shower for a girl I used to work with.
3. Retirement party for three salesguys I work with.
4. I have to do an internal audit in TN this month and was told to expect it to take at least two days.
5. I'm going striper fishing with a Women in the Outdoor's group.
6. My birthday
7. My anniversary
8. Board meeting
9. Must sign up youngest son for Kindergarten (may try to do that this afternoon)
10. Beginner's Day for my youngest son at his new school
11. Easter
12. Taxes.
WOW, it REALLY is going to be NUTS!
