This
week in my world is an interesting week. It’s not too horribly busy by my way
of thinking, but has its moments for sure I guess. I’ve already got all of my
actual working out of the way for the week, since I worked Sunday, Monday &
Tuesday nights, now I just have homework, helicopter training Thursday night
and RN-BSN orientation at Southern on Friday. Then it’ll be the weekend, this
weekend I’m going out to Finbrooke Program Center a Girl Scout camp over near
Rogersville, MO where I’ve spent tons of my life so far. This weekend is one
that happens out there once every year, called Leader’s Weekend where adult
Girl Scouts all get together to take classes, learn from each other, network
and just enjoy camp without the responsibility of our troops being out there
with us. I’ve been on the planning committee for this event for years and in
the past have really enjoyed it. Like all things in life Girl Scouts is
changing and with it our event that has been volunteer driven and run for years
is changing too. I’m thinking that due to some of the changes causing it to not
be the event I remembered it and it not being as ‘fun’ as it used to be that this
is my last year on the committee and maybe even my last year participating. I
used to teach 2 or 3 classes plus take on tons of responsibilities with the
event, I ran myself ragged. In the past couple of years I’ve cut back on all of
it, in fact this year I’m not teaching at all and have really cut out a bunch
of the jobs I used to do too. I know that everything has to change, I think it
just bugs me that everything in my life is changing and I can’t process one change
before the next one occurs. I’m working to deal with all of this and hope that
this weekend is fun and relaxing. I’m hoping to go on a hike to some of the
less known parts of camp to kind of say my good-byes to camp. This will also be
my first year in many not being the nurse for resident camp & I’m not
entirely sure I’m ready to move on, but it seems to be time.
Sunday
it’ll be back to Ozark for a night to get stuff together for the next week and
a half since due to education for work and my crazy work schedule I’ll be over
here for ten days before I go back. I have realized now that even if my husband
and I weren’t splitting up that moving over here would in the end be the thing
to do, I’m really starting to miss my kids. With my budget being tight right
now I’m really not able to go back to Ozark if I just have one night off, like
tonight, so I sometimes go way longer than I want to without seeing them. My
daughter will be helping out in the dish room at camp this weekend, so I’ll at
least get to see her J
To
top all of this off I’m taking a traditional class this summer that’s Mon-Thurs
(Government) that I have to get out of the way to keep my spot in the RN-BSN
program this fall, so I’ll be spending a lot of time over here this summer too.
Maybe I should work on moving the kids in May instead of August, it’s a
thought.
Yep sounds like you are one busy lady. At least you are staying positive and have a schedule so you can see light at the end of the tunnel each week. That is what I try to do. Working 12 hours a day (night shift 6-6) is hectic enough and then you add college, farm work and family and it can seem daughting at times. Keep up the positive attitude and the good work.
ReplyDeleteUsually it comes in threes. I sometimes don't realize that I do have a busy week until it hits me all at once! It sounds like you will have at least a fun weekend, although things are changing you do not like. I am very similar when it comes to change. I'd rather just not have it,unless it is in very small doses, but like I said, it usually comes all at once when it does come. Just stay positive and you will get through it all! Make lists. They help me. :)
