Work Ethic
I had an epiphany this morning because of a phone call which I have been putting off that came back to bite me. I realized that I have really been letting things slide with work. Largely in part because of the holidays and Baddaddy being home from work for a few weeks and because I am pregnant. But these are excuses. I have to stay on top of things, especially working from home, or my bosses will worry that things are falling apart and it isn't working. It is so easy to put things off when there are other things to do at home. On top of that is the lack of energy I sometimes feel. I was incredibly productive today and worked until 4:00. Stopping just long enough to make food and load the dishwasher. But I got a good night's sleep last night, which doesn't always happen. And by the afternoon I feel worn out and have to really push myself to continue being productive. Part of why I wanted to work from home was so that when I needed to I could rest. The problem is, once I start resting it is really difficult to get back into the work mode. So, not necessarily a resolution, but a determination to stay on top of work.

Well, your first priority is to take care of you and that baby boy.
It can be frustrating sometimes, that lack of energy. With the twins, I felt like I basically sat around all day every day. I wanted to be up doing things, cleaning, keeping up with Anneka. But I just couldn't! I felt like a truck had run over me!!
Good luck. :-) Hope you can find the balance, getting things done, and still taking care of yourself.
(Is there anything I can do for you...?)
Thanks for the offer. Unfortunately I just have to get through the last few weeks just like you had to :) Luckily I have J. He takes such great care of me!
I'm proud of you for sticking with it. I can't imagine how tough it would be to work while pregnant. I do transcription at home and know how difficult it is to stop working on the house or wanting to just be lazy and sticking with getting the work done. The thing I like about transcription is that I have breaks where the doctors don't come in to town. I think it's awesome that you are remembering to stick with it even when you just want to take a nap.
Magirk is right though - your first priority has to be you and that baby.
