change

It's been a week with my new job change. I have to say that is has been hard work. My head has never hurt so bad at work before. I didn't realize that I was automatic pilot when talking to customers. Now, with having to know where everything is and how it is run in the area, it has been killing my head. Nothing a few diet cokes couldn't relieve or some ibuprofen. By the end of the week I was feeling really good about how things worked. I started to feel a little frustrated because I haven't been able to fully do the job that I was hired for because I haven't been given clearance to use the process that are set up for order entry. Hopefully on Monday that will be up and running.
I'm glad I have my Ipod to use because it is awfully quiet in the center, I would go a little stir crazy without a little white noise.
Another thing that has been hard is not being home to tuck my kids in at night. I didn't think I would be bugged by it but relieved of not having to get them to bed. But I actually do miss the whining and crying of going to bed. I miss the scriptures and prayers as well. I have to say it to that I miss Mike. We are strangers in the night. He was nice to stay up a few nights this week waiting for me to come home. I thought it was sweet because I knew he had a long day and would have to get up early the next day.
It was a nice change to have Mike home on Wednesday without him running off to work. We got a lot done. He replanted a tree for me and he also worked on the garage. It's not fully cleaned out but it's alot easier to move around in. He was funny because when we woke up he asked "what do you have planned for the day?" Wednesdays are usually my laundry day so that was my only plan. I hope to train him on what the kids and I do during the day. (I think he already has an agenda of what he wants to do on Wednesdays.) I know the kids enjoyed us all home together. They were so excited.
I have to remind myself that it will get easier to adjust and that it's not forever and that my kids are ok. Our morning routine hasn't changed and that is nice to have to normalcy around here.
