pulling my hair out

Work has been crazy...and I mean crazy.  My office is not a very good office, and while I worked hard to improve it, it isn't happening fast enough.
My sweet boss has mandated that Postmasters must stay in the building until the last carrier returns.  For me this means 6:00, 6:30, 7:00..we are so short staffed and with the performance issues, I cannot get the carriers back early enough.  I was very upset when the message first came out.  However, I'm trying to use the anger to fuel my fire to improve the place.  After all, I didn't take this job to stay in Lafayette the rest of my life.

I have been working on my boss, suggesting that maybe we stay a few nights each week, or that we stay when we have people out past 6:00 the night before.  Guess we'll see if I am persuasive.  Either way, I have decided that I am not missing breakfast, lunch, and dinner with my family everyday.

Jordy and I are going on vacation soon and when we get back we will work out some kind of schedule.  I will either go in later some days or take a long lunch some days, but I have to see the favorite people in my life.

After an exhausting week at work, I was excited to get home today.  I had already planned to work this Saturday because of our upcoming vacation (and I used to like to work one Saturday each month).  Kaylea was still in her pajamas, but she said she didn't want to look like ragamuffin, so she let me fix her hair.

We had a laid back afternoon.  Jordy and I each worked out, took short naps, and got plenty of time with Kaylea.  We went out for dinner at Logan's and got our Target fix.  I came home and jumped on the trampoline with Kaylea and played outside. 

It was a great night.  Last night, around 2am, Kaylea came into our room.  She said, "momma, I'm looking for your blanket."  I was so tired, I told her to get in bed with us.  She climbed right up and I enjoyed snuggle time and about 6 inches of the bed for the rest of the night!
