Tired.

Blogged on Sunday, May 4th, 2008 by Rachael. Filed in Blog365, Complaint, Emo, Philosophical.

Troy just posted something short on his new blog, and it says what I can’t quite say sometimes.

This is why we’re so stressed sometimes (most of the time), and this is why I work so hard.  Believe me, I’m happy to work so hard.  I value being a productive person for my family.  I begrudge none of my time spent working, and I begrudge nothing I can give them.

But there is, so far, only me.  And not for lack of trying.  It’s tiring.

Today I just want to sleep.  I want to take a vacation.  I want to play with my kids from before breakfast until past bedtime.  I want to read stories and get grass-stains on my knees and run until my hair sticks out in all different directions.

But I have to go on working.

    Yah,and I have the other side of it I don’t have to be anywhere or get stuff done for money, so I have become the stay at home dad. Who is constantly looking for projects when not cleaning or taking care of the kids. :D

    It is definitely more than I have ever had and i enjoy every minute of it but DAMN I Need Work!!
