wish I could stop working...(vent)

&&

I am so exhausted.  I dread getting up everyday and actually cried myself to sleep last night b/c I knew I had to get up and do it all over again today.  H is great but he doesn't understand.  He kept telling  me that everything will be okay, etc etc.  But he has no idea what it is like having to hold meetings and act all professional all day long when all I really want is to take a nap or just lay down and relax for a bit.

I am working until I go into labor (b/c of health insurance stuff), so every night when I go to bed I hope that this is 'the night' so I don't have to go back to work the next day.  There is so much still to do, and I have no energy after working all day.  (I haven't even written all of my Thank You cards out yet from my shower!!)

I just want a few days to regenerate...and our weekends are full of family obligations.  I NEED A BREAK!

thanks for reading....gotta get ready

Oh, I'm sorry you are having to deal with that. Can you possibly just claim pregnancy and forgo some of the family crap on the weekends? I'm sure they would understand. Do you have a long weekend this weekend? I know I plan to use it to catch up on some sleep.

I hope your LO will make an appearance soon, so mama can give up her day job. 

 

I'll be working up till the bitter end too. I already dread trying to roll myself out of bet at 5:00 AM when I am 40 weeks in the dead of winter.

Oh, huge hugs to you!!!

I can totally relate (though I'm not quite as close as you). I like Laura's idea of claiming pregnancy?you deserve some time to decompress!!

Super hugs sweetie! I know it is so hard to put on a smiley face and be all professional when you just want is sleep and relaxation.

This must be so rough right now.

Time to def'n put your foot down about family obligations. They can hold the dinner without you!  Send your H alone if that will appease them.   Get some rest before the baby comes.

Any chance you get Monday off for Columbus Day?  I know one day isn't much, but it might help a bit.
