Good morning,

This week has been full of things to do, I've been non-stop busy at work and moving.

Firstly, I work at an oil company in Detroit as an administrative assistant. I never got my degree, I just worked here as a helper and just sort of fell into the job. I was surely blessed from what my job was at before here. So I usually make my own schedule each day and people give me projects every now and then with a time limit on them. The only problem is end of year planning. Absolutely hate it. I have to print off all of the 2013 Inspection forms and organize them, I have to prepare for meetings this month, I have to print out the 2013 binder information for each area, a project from a coworker to scan in all of the medical reports for this year and email them to the nurse was assigned to me, I have to send out emails for updates on past due projects, and I have the rest of my "daily" work that I typically do. Needless to say, I will not have it all done this week and most of it was asked of me to have finished by Friday.

I don't think that when the boss is asking for something do they really understand the time commitment it takes. Not to mention the fact that I will be tying up the printer for a good 8-10 hours and people get aggravated around me while I'm trying to get it all done. I may just stay here late on Friday when everyone is gone and finish it all then while chugging coffe. This leads me to my other problem...

I am a 24 year old single female that pays her own way through life and I cannot afford to live in a one bedroom apartment. Therefore I've been staying at my dad's house for the past couple of months since my lease was up. He married in October to a woman ten years older than me with young children. She hasn't gotten a job and pretty much just lays about while mayyyybe cleaning one or two things per day. When I get home from work, I love to go to my room, wake up my dog from his nap and just chill around for a bit. I am a reader, so I usually shut myself out and read for hours after work. I prefer it that way. Well I guess his wife left last weekend saying that she's leaving him because we take him for granted and treat him like crap and we hate her (my brothers are both there also). Honestly, I don't care if she wants to hang out and talk after work, I just prefer nice quiet time in my room to relax. Apparently she thinks that means I hate her.

So anyway, my dad said that if we didn't try to call her to bring her back here then we are out of the picture. So I came home from work yesterday, packed up what I could, and drove straight to my mom's house. I am really close with my mom and the only reason I didn't move back in the first place is because she is about 10-15 minutes further from everything. I unpacked what little I had and relaxed there and now I'm back at work...busy and stressed. I can't wait to get everything else moved in. I'm just sick of feeling like I'm not good enough for him. He doesn't deserve it if he puts other people before his children.

There's my reasoning for the long day I'm having.

Amber and Jordan Massey (I follow Amber religiously) are having their twin baby girls this morning and I am soo excited for them. May God bless their beautiful little family and I hope they are all safe and warm ready for the love they are coming into.
