Normally, I would consider my a moderately organized person, oh scratch that, I am lying. I hang on by a thread most days! (If you have missed the recent posts, I just moved to the Chicago suburbs for a new position with the greatest company in the world, so great that I will not mention their name, but you know who they are)
With the recent move, I moved my entire little family 550 miles out of our comfort zone, started a new position, AND started my final semester of graduate school. The ONLY reason that I have not pulled all of my hair out is because I started with more hair than the average person on my head... Life is crazy right now and with sub par organization skills it has been a wee bit of a headache some days.
I have been able to maintain my work schedule now that I have a laptop and Blackberry at home so that I can catch up on work in the evenings now and even have a delightful exchange with a customer at 11 PM, you read correctly, 11 PM... Luckily, he is a nice guy and I was sort of awake, so it turned out okay.
The headache begins when you add a five year old and some highly demanding grad school profs into the mix. This week, I have 2 sets of homework due and an exam as well as kindergarten homework, baths, and convincing Cooper to sleep in his own bed, gahhhhh!!!
So, this is a short blog post to beg you to:
A. pray for me
B. send me easy recipes that can be made in under 30 minutes and do not involve pizza rolls and easy mac
C. send me notes convincing me that Cooper will go to college one day and be able to sleep in his own bed all night without wetting the bed (preferably master the sleeping thing first)
D. come visit us (wait until May at least, because let's face it the weather stinks right now)
E. don't tell me "I told you so" about the snow, I don't think I could emotionally handle it
F. If you see me on my Facebook, tell me to get off, because inevitably I am procrastinating some sort of work
G.If you do come to visit me before May, don't judge me about the cleanliness of the apartment... I am still at least 15 piles away from a Hoarders intervention...
So, please and thank you from Chicago (really the way less cool Northwest suburbs, but we do have a Trader Joe's...)
Buy a crockpot. They are life savers. Easiest crockpot recipe? I package chicken breasts and 1 bottle of barbecue sauce. Cook on low all day and eat with white bread. Love you.
