This week has been about multi-tasking. Work Bennett- work Bennett. I have had to deal with trying to work full (or overtime) with B. I had two teaching gigs I had to take right in the same week. Luckily I have aunties and friends who have helped out but the stress has worked its toll on me. I made a fundamental mistake of not clamping something before drilling and my hand is suffering the results.
My hand will heal but it is a lesson in paying attention to caring for myself and those around me.
B was so exhausted from going and coming with auntie Julie and Liz that she conked out on the way to picking up Zues tonight. I managed to transfer her to bed where hopefully she will sleep till morning. Liz offered to come over in the am and let B sleep or relax in her home. I feel that if she can have two days of not being dragged about early in the am it helps in getting to school during the week. Thank you Liz!
I will not commit to this much work in the future - I was a bit desperate not making any money over the summer. There is an art to multi -tasking salute to the single parents who manage to function!
Pat - it's easy to lose focus with so much going on. I know you feel more comfortable with money coming in; just try to pace yourself. It's difficult to find a balance especially when you are the single parent. You're doing great and I think of you everyday.

It's always good to discover what the limits are. Selfishly, I just loved having you here. It just seemed right.
ReplyDeleteBig Salute to you Pat, as one of those single parents who's multitasking.
ReplyDeleteI hope your hand is healing.
Love, Jim
