There are too many emails, documents, and files.  I can't find what I need when I need it due to the sheer volume of it all.  I can't remember any of it either because there are hundreds of pages of it and it's not organized the way I would do things.  It's all so different than anywhere else I've worked.  It's as if I'm unlearning 10 years of grammar and style training.  The dictation sounds like psh, spht, sp, snarf, spt because the sound quality blows.  It's taking hours longer than the schedule I agreed to.  I don't even have time to deal with my personal and family responsibilities!  I'm exhausted and stressed out.  I don't want to quit, but I don't want to deal with all of this.

know how I'll get through.   I've even had a couple of days where I called DH at work and told him to call me every hour, just to make sure I didn't do something stupid.   As hard as it is I would try to figure out what the #1 crisis was and what did I/we need to do to try to fix it.   With me most issues are financial.   We've never had a late bill or missed a meal, but have had to juggle things.  I stress way too easily about finances, mainly because I handle them and DH likes to spend $$, especially at the grocery store.  He grew up going hungry so he needs to be able to buy whatever he wants at the grocery store - he does the shopping usually.

I found that if you are married you absolutely need/have to have the cooperation of your spouse and even if times are tough but you are on the same page you'll get through whatever it is. 

I find a good night of sleep often makes things not seem so helpless.  I'm a Christian, but I am a quiet/private one and dislike going to church.  I do find that I pray a lot and while I've never "heard" God's voice like I hear people talking about, He has always provided and told me to have faith because He said he would provide and He has.   When we've gotten in tight money situations an unexpected check will show up, a refund from something, a bonus from work, etc.   I've learned to not stress so much over money, just take a deep breath and have faith.

Some of our problems are of our own making and we just have to dig ourselves out of them and hopefully learn from our mistakes.  Other times we have absolutely no control and we have to realize that and fix what can be fixed and just let go of what we can't.   As bad as our situations may be there are always those in much worse situations.   There are some that can handle everything with grace and there are others who just won't/can't handle things.   I'm somewhere in the middle, but often wonder what is it that makes the person who handles things with grace like that.

Try to go outside for 15 minutes every day and walk, if doing nothing more than walking around the yard.   Doctors tell postpartum moms to do this to avoid depression and it really helps, especially if the day is sunny.    Try to count your blessings instead of your problems.

Sometimes we are not open to listening to God or we only come to Him when we need/want something.   We also want what we want. 

We've never even actually met him in person, but he is my husbands best friend's only sibling and my husband's friend was going through such a horrible time waiting and wondering that he couldn't even go to work. We only wish everybody could have good news.

Thanks again.

I just learned that my boss's daugher-in-law and grand-daughter were involved in a horrendous car accident. The DIL suffered many fractured bones, on top of a pre-existing MS condition. However, the grand-daughter may die, and even if she survives she will likely have severe brain damage.

Can those of who you believe in a high power keep this family in your thoughts and prayers?

Just e-mailed your request to my church who has a prayer group that meets everyday and prays for the requests that are sent in.  Have also sent a few of my own on the way.  Hope all works out.

Please let them know that my prayers are with them, knowing already that God's healing work is with them already.  Thanks for letting us know.

Blessings

You are in my prayers and hopefully someday the resentment and bitterness will be gone from your heart.  Good luck in your life. 

...and ((((HUGS)))) from Ambi, Max, Q-Tip, Baby, & Tequila (my "kids").

Keep us posted, k?

Yesterday around 11:00 a.m., in a town near me, a guy went to the hospital where his ex-wife was a nurse, called her outside to talk to her, and shot her 5 times.  She was flown to a bigger hospital nearby, but later died.  They found him last night trying to cross the Canadian border. 

There are 2 small girls involved (5 & 9) who can use all the prayers we can offer right now.

guess, that all we could do for now.
