It's been a while since I've posted anything here, so hello again fellow step-talkers! Just need to clear my conscience of a few things, and receive some feedback from all the awesome peeps I started work again a month ago after being on mat leave. It was hard for the first little bit, but I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. I've been more stressed out than normal with adjusting to the new routine, trying to learn the rhythm of my new job, and making enough time for everybody. Lately, whenever it's our weekend with SD I've been getting this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I can't quite place my finger on why...it just feels like one more thing on top of the mountain, you know? I'm so overwhelmed by the time the weekend comes that all I want to do is relax. I want the couch to myself so I can stretch out and shut off my brain with some good old TV. I don't want to walk into the livingroom to see SD taking up 3/4 of the couch with her ponies and stuffies and colouring books. (I know I know...tell her to shove it. Are you ever just too tired to put up a stink about things? I am!) I'll admit, I've been electing to work every other Saturday so it lessens the hassle of taking on my step-responsibilities. Is that bad?? There's really not a whole lot of point to my ramblings tonight, I just needed to release it. I haven't had a chance to talk to you ladies in a while! I guess my point in a roundabout way is I'm finding SD weekends a little more taxing than normal. How is everyone else holding up?? Any exciting events I've missed?
