Stress and the Office

I've been a little down the past few days. I guess I'm having a hard time adjusting to being home. 4 weeks ago I found out that I was able to keep my job but work from home. It was great news until I found out the details. I had to take a huge pay cut. After being really pissed off I remembered that being able to be home with Ella is priceless. So I got over that. For the past 4 weeks I've had to quit my old job and be re-hired. A lot of hoops to jump through but oh well, it was worth the effort to be with my girl... at first. I've missed the date to turn in my hours to be paid at the end of September because I wasn't techincally employed (I was working because the kids needed their work enlarged. The beginning of the year is CRAZY in the Vision Dept.). Ugh. I needed to get this figured out. So I emailed and called and heard nothing. Today (after I had to get the Asst. Director of Special Ed involved) I found out I've been employed since 8-28. Wouldn't that have been nice to know?! Oh well. It's figured out. Now I'm left wondering how we are going to get through October on Mark's pay check. ... yikes!! Mark keeps reassuring me it will be OK but it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I'm really in a WAHHH mood. I wish I could snap out of it... but I'm struggling. The good news is I have my little Ella that smiles at me all day... I can't wait for the weekend so Mark will be able to spend more time with us. He is working really hard trying to make extra money... such a good hubby!!!

I took this picture over the weekend. Ella and Mark's favorite thing to do... SLEEP! They are very good cuddle buddies. I have so many pictures of them sleeping together. Too cute!!!

Yesterday I got season 5 of The Office. It has been non-stop Office since then. I can't believe I forgot about Dwight and Angela!! haha... I love to watch the episode commentary. One of the episode commentary was with the Kraft Services guys telling what the cast members like for breakfast... Eggs whites and onions... mmm... I think I may need to try that this weekend.

Football starts tomorrow!! I can't believe I am saying this.... I'M SO EXCITED!!! Mark and I joined a fantasy football league with people from work. Mark tells me I have a pretty good team. We shall see this weekend. Wish me luck!!! :)
