Disappointed
I really wanted a job posting at the hospital. It was 2 days/week. If I got it, it would mean that I could have given up working weekends. Unfortunately, someone with more seniority got it (even after this person said they applied just for fun and didn't even really want the job). So, I am stuck on weekends again. I work every weekend! When the kids were little it didn't matter so much but now that they are older it means that I can't watch them play basketball, take them to birthday parties, do fun stuff, etc. They have never had to go to daycare (I don't make enough to make it worthwhile. After I paid for daycare, I would be just breaking even) but now that they are both in school I am rethinking this. They would only have to go after school for a few hours. But, I just can't make myself do it. I hate having to rely on someone else, what about holidays etc. So, for now Paul and I will just continue to be ships passing in the night, leaving each other notes and never having a single day off when we are all together. Anyone else living this crazy a life???

Hi, thanks for dropping by! The potstickers looked extremely delicious. We love them, and it's hard to find good ones without going into the city!
ReplyDeleteWe've had weird schedules where we didn't see much of each other; I used to commute from DC to NY every Monday morning, live in a hotel all week and then come back Friday afternoon, but we did see each other on the weekends. Still, it was difficult, although when there's a good reason for it, you stick it out, I guess.
