When it rains.....

So, this was my first week back to work. I fell right back into the routine of a doctor's office rather easily. However, the rest of my life seems to fall apart as I do. James received horrible news at work on Monday. As I was settling into a new job he was getting demoted and taking a huge pay cut at his. Not a good start to the week. He has had a blessing, met the new manager who will be replacing him, and has been rather peeved all week. Can't say I blame him. But work isn;t the only problem. The kids aretaking adavantage of my lack of time to check up on them. The house is a wreck, dinners are sporadic, and I am exhausted trying to keep up with it all. I know that once we are all used to it things will settle down, but in the mean time,I feel like I am failing. I am in need of some serious TLC. Thankfully, I have a wonderful friend who does my hair. And the dear, sweetheart gave me a wonderful cut and color touch up on Saturday. I just love Sheila and her sweet spirit. She is so giving and knew exactly what I needed. Thank goodness for girlfriends. So, I ask for prayers and support from all my friends. If I sound loopy or crazy when we talk just chalk it up to the Stay at Home Mom who is out of her element in the working world.
