Gripes and Complaints

So as a forewarning, this post is all one big complaint. I try to keep my gripes and complaints down, at least out loud, because in the big scheme of things, I really have too much to be thankful for to complain. However, there are times when I just have to unload, to get it off my chest so that I can move on.

Here goes....we start Monday, Wednesday, Friday staff PT next week. Doesn't seem like a big deal does it? No not really. As it relates to working out, I'm not against it. I get up every morning to work out anyway so it won't be a big change in that aspect. Working out keeps me healthy, able to fit into my clothes and gives me energy to run around with the kids.

The part I'm hating about it is that the place where we'll have to meet is about 20 min away from the house. That's with no traffic. So instead of me rolling out of bed every morning around 6 something, I'll have to be up no later than 0545 now and rolling out of the garage no later than 0600, really before that so I won't have to speed. Ugh, I am so not a morning person! We'll probably run around until 730ish and then I'll be back home around 8.

This seriously cuts into my morning alone time. My time to think, breathe, read, and pray to set myself up for a successful day! The kids are usually up by 8. I'll roll in, have to take a shower, try to fix and eat a healthy breakfast and be ready to leave the house by 0845 to be at work on time. Agggghhhhhh! It'll be rush, rush, rush. There'll be no time for breakfast with the kids. Or a chance to help get them ready for the day. It'll be in and out which I hate. I already hate that I have to leave them everyday and enjoyed seeing them in the morning if even for a short time.

This isn't the first time I've had to work out at work. It's just been a few years and so I had gotten used to my own routine. Back right after I had Bug, I used to have to be at the gym around 7 and by the time I worked out, it was shower at the gym and walk across the street to the office where I ate my breakfast. I would miss hubs and baby every morning. EVERY DAY, I would go to the daycare to see Bug for lunch to get my kid fix and eat lunch back in my office.

There is no getting up earlier because doing that would seriously cut into my sleep. I'm already getting in the bed by 10 but that hardly leaves me time to chill, decompress, and spend some time with hubs before my eyes want to close. Let's not even talk about trying to clean something. I was seriously considering getting someone to clean for us but now I'm definitely leaning that way. I'll have to really look into it this weekend. Hubs won't like it but I can't do it all. I'm seriously working full time and coming home to cook dinner at least 5 nights a week, giving baths and then trying to do whatever else needs to be done. Superwoman is on her way to being burnt out quickly!

Okay, enough complaining. Got it out and now to find a way to deal with it. I'll let you know how it goes.
