Sorry I haven't blogged a few weeks, just a lot on my mind... Since Nim's Invitations wasn't making money because of the economy I thought that I would lay off that for a while and focus on just being a mom. Great at that, not my hubby my any means that can take care of everything and make me look like I don't do a thing.. which YES I know that I am truly blessed to have him. So that leaves me a lil bit more time but then I don't want to do anything ya know, like I am lost. Right now Chase and Chris are dealing with allergies that make them just feel like crap, but they are playing games and still wanting to play basketball... that's kept them entertained, so I clean up and there is only so much laundry a person can do, right now I just have socks to be washed. I already did the dishes now just need detergent so that I can wash them. We are paying for so many things right now so that a few certain serious items get taken care of .. like my license.. that's a whole-nother blog in its own.. but thankfully that will be taken care of very soon, I go to get my state id one day this week. Then school gets out this week on Friday and then it is summer.. have to figure a few things out to do with the boys.. Chris has a physical on Monday for football and for boy scouts. He has a summer camp coming up in a few weeks. I am the type of person to let things overwhelm me before they happen. Like I think too much of something and I get all worked up for it.. really for nothing. .. anyone else have this problem, because I would like to know how to deal with it better.. never had this problem before and I am not dealing with it very well. So to anyone else out there that is running their own business, do you know the secret to get it off the ground better? Maybe I am just not meant to run my own business, then what am I meant to do? UGH... advice, or just something to say to help me out here? Thanks guys... can always count on y'all to be honest and tell me hey lady you are being stupid and a big whiny ass... yes I know my ass is big, i am working on losing some of that too....
I saw this article on Depression at work, and thought "is this really happening"? I had a job where I was miserable, so was that Depression at work? I can see how it would have been, boy I was really in a low place at the time.. you know the job where you dread going in.. you dread seeing those that ridicule you for ANYTHING...
Well now in the workplace, it is competition EVERYTHING.. someone is always trying "one up" you. So I researched to see how bad is this? Did you know that depression accounts for close to $12 billion in lost work days each year? Uhm, just a thought but wouldn't that money help the economy? $12 billion!! Makes me think that people are more mean and fake then we realized..what about those people that become friends with their co-workers and go out with them outside of work.. are those the people that are fake.. is it your team member that sits right across from you?? I am glad that I am not in the corporate world anymore however just being a WAHM is competition enough. There is always someone else with your same idea for work, someone better at the same thing you are trying everything to get better at.. but I learned that I make the decision of going to be depressed about it or I am going to do something about it.. so here is the ?, if you are "stuck" with the job that you have today, are you going to let yourself be depressed over it or are you going to do something about it and be nice/cheerful about it? Don't you think that the person that is remembered for being nice/helpful/cheerful will get the promotion before the "cut-throat" person does??
Your thoughts?
