Can I Quit Yet?

After last week and today I'm ready to throw in the towel with work. I LOVE what I do but things have been utterly insane and they don't seem to be getting better. The telephone/internet company was suppose to be at our office between 7-10 and have us up and running. Of course they ran late, it was closer to noon. Then it took until at least 2:30 before the phones were up and running. We had an internet connection but for some reason our router and modem weren't letting us out. It just so happens an IT company is right behind us and I ran over and begged them to help us. It took until a little after 4 but things were finally up. The entire day was wasted and I was already so far behind.

Taking time off with Jackson made the situation get worse and then with Lee leaving and me not having the flexibility of going in on the weekend or working late a couple of nights has compounded the problem. Whoever decided to have us move in the middle of the month was crazy. I'm sure we could have extened our lease by 15 days and let us move when things were slower. That would have made sense. Instead I had the strain of having 14 some odd closings last week AND moving. It didn't help that I had to go to FWB 4 of the days for closings. Not fun at all.

I was pooped when I left work. I was also still hot and sweaty from the day. I went to the old office this morning to vacuum and finish up there. It was in the 80's and so humid. I guess spring has definitely hit. Oh and the phone guy couldn't get some of our jacks working so he only activated the fax and the jack in my office. We have some phone service company coming tomorrow to finish the job. If it's not one thing it's another.

I shouldn't be up this late. I almost fell asleep with the kids tonight. I only got up because if I went to bed that early I would feel as if the day was just work and nothing else. I also came home to walk into my house and find that Buffet had gone through our trash and tore apart 2 bags of it. Dirty poppy diapers ripped apart and scattered everywhere. I sent the kids to the bathroom to take a bath while I cleaned it up.

I'm also worried about my BP. Jana and I were talking about it and I told her I had no idea what it was. I took it 3 times and the average was 154/108. I took it again this morning and it was 155/112. Scary I know. I need to go to the Dr. but when? There aren't enough hours in the day. I just tried taking it 3 times and each time I got an error message. It that b/c it's too high to register? Now I'm going to be paranoid. Nope, got it to work 151/118. Okay, I guess a call to the Dr. is in order. Now just to find time to make the call. Does flying on airplanes increase BP? I know that sounds crazy to ask but so many things can affect the BP I have no idea. Fun fun fun.

I'm so sad and I know it may sound trivial but when I went to get the newspapers on Sunday they were sold out everywhere!!! I went so many places and I even called the others I could think of. I called Elizabeth and asked her to stop by the gas station and get me some from B'ham but her lack of responding back to me if she did it makes me think she didn't. There were 4 inserts in last weeks paper. There were so many I needed. Free dishwash detergent. :-(.
