Two Days off is NOT Enough

It’s been just over two years that I have been working six days a week at two different jobs.  I was told at both jobs that I needed to be nervous about burnout.   I did what I always do.   I shrugged it off.  You know cause ummm I know what I’m doing.    You betcha.  I’m gonna make it work.  Once again life proves me WRONG.  

Yup I’m tired so Incredibly tires.  I spent many a drive home just wanting to cry.   I hate to get messy, so all I give myself is the time to be sad, really sad.  

It’s a three day weekend.  I took two days off to just be.  The third day we had middle school retreat.   Yup, I thought two full days off is enough.   Wow, the drive home I was just wrecked.   I was so tired.  

I have no choice.   If I am going to keep my family afloat, pay our bills and function, then I need to work six days a week.   I repeat all the time to myself “This is my now, not my always”.  

My reading this morning shared God gives us the strength we need for each day.   So yesterday when I lay on the couch reading a book and not being able to form sentences I got less strength than today when I helped God Squad share our faith with our Middle
Schoolers.   This is why our faith is awesome
