I can’t thank my blog buddies enough. I’ve definitely been helped by a lot of words of wisdom and encouragement from my friends. I am having some focus problems so my post today is more of a lesson in randomness than anything else.
- Enough about me and my issues. My poor wife is stressed too. She’s working full time now and even though she works less hours than me, she’s overburdened with all of the home and kid stuff. She never has time to play with Shmoo and he just pushes her buttons when she’s trying to get him ready or make dinner, etc. I am trying to get more accomplished at work and get home at a decent hour. I really need to pick up some of the home slack. It’s hard when your worth revolves around how much you bill, not what you accomplish. I need to give my wife some major appreciation. But if I spend money, she’ll be mad. I just keep thinking about how we could take some pressure off her if we could just sell the condo…
- If I hear the term “Palin Mania” one more time, I’m throwing something breakable at my tv/radio.
- My newest attempts to do something about my fatness have been thwarted. I started the Couch.to.5k podcast and was very proud of myself this past week for following through. I’ve been getting up on my running days at 5:30 am and running around my condo complex. After Week One, I’ve been blessed with shin splints. They hurt like absolute hell. Apparently, my legs don’t appreciate the extra weight. And I need better shoes. There’s another expense, adding to everything else. Jeez…
- This new medication is totally making whatever focus I had completely dissipate. This was supposed to help me sleep too and I’ve been up the past 3 mornings at 4 am unable to sleep again. My brain is rather slow lately. Now, I’m not able to think clearly, but instead of panicking, I am totally cool with it. I should definitely be working on something law related right now.
- I’m totally under my annual hours at work and I’m stuck between busting my ass for the remaining months or accepting the fact I’m not going to make it and just keep up what would be normal hours. It would really help if I could focus.

I got shin splints recently too from running and they’re SO annoying. New shoes helped a whole lot. I also started stretching my shins which I don’t usually do and that helps too.
I’m sorry for all the stress in your life lately. I hope it calms down for you soon!

I’m sorry things are so crazy for you both right now.
I feel for each of your positions. (I have a wife who over schedules herself)
I hope life gives you some breathing room soon.
If not, you will both soon acclimate to the new and chaotic lives you’ve both been living.

I’ve been toying with the idea of the Couch to 5K. I’d do it early morning, but the thought of being out in the dark by myself scares me a little bit. Not because of bad guys though, because of bears! LOL

Big credit to your wife. She sounds like a strong woman. Both of you hang in there, we’re thinking of you both. Jen and Michelle

i’m sorry things are so stressful right now. i really believe the economic climate is affecting most of us on some level across the board. whether it be losing a job or lack of availability to dump real estate we really wanted/needed to get rid of, ttc stress, or any other # of things that are stressful, hopefully you get some peace thinking about your wonderful family and some of the other intangibles you have like the kind of profession that’s mostly recession proof, and i’m sure there are lots more. hang in there, sending you lots of support from atlanta!!
