As in burned out. The
past two weeks have been incredibly busy at work. I agreed to take on a significant additional
responsibility. Naturally, as soon as
that happened, situations arose with other projects. Situations that required much time and attention. I’m often away from home for 11 hours each
day. That means the mom guilt is in full
swing. I’m not spending enough time with
the boys. I know they are well cared
for. But I also know that a couple hours
a day with them isn’t enough for me.
I’ve been making it a point to plan days off and be fully
present on the weekends. A brings the
boys to work occasionally and we have lunch. But I’m
struggling. I feel like I’m never giving
enough, and at the same time, I have nothing more to give.
Hopefully my busy workdays are temporary and things will
lighten up a bit. I’m trying to figure
out a better way to balance work and life.
Until then, blog posts will be sparse…
