I've worked 30hrs in 3 days and am exhausted, in pain and have tonight n tomorrow to go before days off. 50 hrs in 5 days ouch! That's more than doubling, that's tripling my work hours. Didn't get home until 1am last night and had left the house @ 1:15pm yesterday. INSANITY I tell ya... however it shouldn't always be like this, it's restaurant week and it's kuhrayzee busy.

Oh, I'm cooking at a new restaurant... I'm the only working right now becfause DH is waiting for this tattoo shop to open close to home (which he's hired at already)

It is good for you, builds character... (that's what my mom would say). xoxoxo you know I am teasing you.

[~InHisHands~]

Oh man but hey, the more money you can make the more things (TTC-wise) you can do! I hope it does slow down just a tad though, for your sanity's sake.

That's a lot of hours! Don't over do yourself Are you liking your new job?

[luvmykids623]

How do you like your new job? That's a whole lot of hours, how are you feeling?

[Celena]

Awe thanks ladies

LOL Missy I love you my friend! You're too funny, but that's true (and my mom used to always say it too) It is building some sort of um character... LOL! A tired zombie girl one

Amanda so true! We've thought of IUI in the future pending on this cycle and how far we want to continue with TTC this way so you've definitely got that right. It'll take money that's fo sho and no insurence that I know of here in VA covers fertility treatments so it'll be out of pocket anyways.

Kelly, I do like my new job... I'm cooking @ a restaurant that my friend is the head chef for. He hired me over at Five01 almost 6yrs ago, so he's been trying to get me for years... well he's got me, but I feel like a shadow of my former self. I was struck with this dang fibromyalgia sometime after he left and it coincedently was when my old job's owners sort of crapped on me. They were building me up telling me I was going to be a sous chef or better yet capable of being the head chef, then basically (the money guy, part owner) more or less is sexist. I got passed up 5x's and all of those guys that they made AKM/KM's or sous chef's etc NEVER MADE it.

Sooo anyways, I'm liking the new job... very well organized, good flow, very busy and everyone is very nice!

Sorry didn't mean to ramble, sort of went off on a tangent and had to stop myself before I kept going.

Lori... I do feel very spent after last night and tonight I can barely walk after I drove a half hour or so home. Because we're ttc I don't take my pain meds like I'm supposed to for the fibro, the maternal fetal med doc said it's ok for ttc, pg but it never hurts to be safe and take the least amount possible.

I do like the new job, like I said to Kelly

Thanks for asking ladies about how things are going, how I like it n such... it's been a rough 4 days I tell ya!

It sounds like you're in a better place, and working for better people! I'm sorry about your pain, hopefully soon you'll find some time to rest! So are you sous chef? Will your hours always be like this?

[Kary♥RN]

Celena.. While the hours sound kinda of crappy... This is something I know you deserve!! A way to express your creative side!!! I have seen your deserts.. And I know from my Parents... they are absolutely delicious!!! Now you can cook.. and expand that talent to please taste buds!!!!

[ldovey83]

Wow Celena that is alot of hours hun.. I am glad that job is going well for you.. That always helps to have it go smoothly and staying busy.. Makes the shifts go by faster I always thought.. I hope that your DH's shop opens up soon so he can get back to tattoo's... Hang in there hun.

[ohnicole]

I hope you get some time to rest soon, Celena!! And that you're able to save up tons of money for IUI (so that when you get your BFP this cycle you can use the money to go on vacation
