Exhausted

[dragonflie]

I have been doing this 2 job thing for over a year now.  My first job is very demanding HR job working any where from 50+ hours per week.  My 2nd job is a hostess at the Olive Garden, working about 25 hours per week.  They have had me as there closer since I started which means I don't get to leave till the last guest leaves.  I think I have been doing pretty good with the little amount of sleep I usually get but last night not getting out till 10:45 (last guest was just sitting there) not getting home till 11:20 and not getting to bed till 12:15 then up at 4:40 has just kicked my butt today.  I am officially burnt out!  I haven't felt this way in the year I have been doing this.  See I am a single parent to 2 wonderful kids with a loser of an exhusband that doesn't feel he needs to support his children.  Well I just have to shake it off and keep going on.  My mom doesn't like it when I tell her, are you going to pay my bills? no ok then I will sleep enough when I am dead!

Maybe you should have mini-trips planned a good while in advance to keep you motivated and to give you something to look forward to... Even if its 6 months away you will have something fun and exciting to look forward to instead of all work and no play....

BOTTOM LINE.... Its awesome that you work so hard for your family and I hope you are thanked dailey.

I have had the 2 jobs at once and I know what you are going through except I was not yet a mom , so I am sure it is hard!!!
