The craziness that is my life
My birthday is tomorrow!!!!! Yay!!!
I wish I could say that this has been a leisurely and pleasant birthday week but that is untrue. Things at work and at home are starting to overwhelm me and this makes me a bit nervous.
Work is crazy, we have a new CEO so everyone is on edge wondering what changes he will make and when they will happen. Plus it is review time and the way reviews are being conducted this year is different than in years past so its sort of like learning how to do them all over again. Not to mention that there's a huge launch of some new stuff on the website next week so getting prepared for that as well as the changing of promotions twice in the next several days which is always pretty involved. I think just about everyone I work with right now feels the same way I do, like we are all running around blindfolded bumping into each other trying to figure out which way to go.
The home situation isn't anything bad, just a little hectic. I'm so beat when I get home from work that I don't have the umph to do what needs to be done. I'm trying to get the taxes done, and need to make some phone calls about that, which as everyone knows is quite stressful. Plus the hubby and I are planning a trip to Germany this fall and neither one of us has a passport at the moment so we've got to get that going. I've had one in the past, its just been expired for a long time but he's never had one before so we had to get his birth certificate and all that jazz. Then there is the figuring out when we will leave and return and where to stay and all that. Which is really exciting but also confusing since I'm not too familiar with places over there. Then there is the fiasco that is the yard. Ugh. It needs some desperate attention but truth be told, although I want a pretty lawn and a nice flower bed ... I despise gardening and yard work. I should just bite the bullet and get a service. Sigh. Another thing to put on the to-do list.
Anyway, I guess I just needed to vent a little. Life's not bad, just a bit kooky at the moment. But that's all OK because tomorrow is my birthday and I've got a 4 day weekend to relax and do nothing but sleep, watch TV, crochet and hang out with my hubby and kitties. Plus my Mom's coming to visit on Saturday so that'll be fun! If I can just remember to breathe between now and then I think it'll all be fine ........
