Pushing the Envelope


I came in to work today and was confronted with an absolute mess. An ugly, difficult to resolve mess, the cause of which had nothing to do with me. Still, I was put in the unenviable position of cleaning up said mess, which involved lots of phone calls to already temperamental customers to give them bad news. The prospect of all of this left me thinking, "Man, why couldn't this baby have come last night?"

I'm sure I was just being jumpy, but I almost thought he was going to come a few times. I had some painful contractions (as opposed to the just deeply uncomfortable ones) last night that woke me up with a bang through the night. But they didn't occur at regular intervals and didn't keep coming. I was always able to fall back asleep (in part because of my perpetual exhaustion..... I can now fall asleep in 3 minutes flat.... never been able to do that before in my life). So I showed up to work this morning feeling like I really shouldn't be showing up to work this morning. *sigh*

One of these days things are going to change.

Hang in there! It will be over before you know it and you will never have to go back to the job that you don't hate, but don't really like either!:) My last few days at work when I was about to pop with Caden, they seriously were the worst work days EVER! I had a really hard time even getting up in the morning, let alone standing around all day having contractions....
