Oh, man! I have awake since 3:35am. I went to bed around 10 but couldn't get to sleep even though I felt exhausted. This rarely happens to me! I started my progesterone on Saturday and usually that totally knocks me out. I don't know what is up this cycle! I have been waking up several times a night and this morning I gave up on getting back to sleep and got up at 4:15.
My mind just would not shut off this morning. I was trying not to think about work. I tried praying and thinking positive thoughts like imagining myself being pregnant this summer. It was no use. Work just kept sneaking back into my psyche.
Work has been so stressful as of late. We have a new CEO and he is a real driver. There is nothing good enough for him. Right now I have so many loan files they fill two drawers. Plus, I have been working full-time on the teller line. I open and close my files so many times a day between members I forget where I am at. The system in our office is not working any more and management will not listen!!!! We are too busy of an office to have to work two full-time jobs as a teller and a loan officer. I am loosing my mind! I like my job and I am thankful to have a job but I wish they would see a better way to do things. I'm just whining but I am not having any fun at work at all! I used to have fun at work! The longer I am there the harder it is getting!
I spend a good part of my day in prayer. I speak to God all day long. I don't know how many times a day I think, God, give me strength! I carry in my pocket a pocket rosary and a St. Gerard token. Even if I don't have time during the day to say the rosary I fell better just having it with me. My aunt gave me the St. Gerard token. It came from The Cross in the Woods up in Indian River and it has the following prayer:
O good St Gerard, make me fruitful in offspring. Protect me and watch over me that I may raise up children to God in this life.
I love that prayer.I say it several times a day for myself and my prayer buddy.
I ask for the intercession of the saints in all of my requests. I wonder, is there a saint for the overworked and under appreciated? I'll have to look that one up!
Long overdue final update (such a good one)!

Hang in there girl! Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? I will pray asking St. Joseph to help you. We are in a crazy (albeit temporary) season at work as well Q3 quarter-end and then we go right into year-end very shortly and I can tell my stress level is almost maked out now...I am not sure how this is going to go for the next 4 months. Ugh...but I have gotten through it many years before, so I know the Lord will bring me through this now. At least we can commiserate together, huh? My husband is potentially going on a work trip to Michigan soon. When he told me, my 1st thought was "I wonder how far away that his from you!". Too bad I can't take some time off and go with him and we could meet up! Now that would be fun! :) Have a great week and God Bless! :)
