No Promises

I make no promises as to how often I'll write here. I need a place to vent, whine, bitch, complain, laugh, share. Maybe it'll help me get through this mess of a life I've created for myself.

Billie's Brain - I'm Tired

I'm tired...so tired. Song to the tune of I'm sorry...so sorry. I have no idea what song that is, but it used to be on a commercial and my brother and I would sing it to my Mom and annoy the crap out of her.
But this past week I've just been exhausted. I recently completed some up training for my job and it definitely makes my job more intensive. I hope that it gets easier as I apply my newly acquired skills, but right now it's pretty rough.
I work second shift which is ok, I'd prefer to work a little earlier so I could spend some time with Jake. He gets here right as I'm starting work, but I'm happy that I have a job I can do from my house so I take whatever hours I get.
Speaking of taking whatever hours I can get, unlimited overtime is approved for the month of November. Translation? Billie can make more money to buy more presents. All joking aside, there is something about picking out and buying my family members the perfect presents that I quite literally love. Don't get me wrong, I also love getting presents, but there's something about buying someone an awesome gift and watching their eyes light up as they open it.
With visions of presents and smiles on faces, I've been working 11-12 hour days. Combine that with trying to keep up with my tv obsession, attempting to maintain a livable domicile, getting blog work done, and spend time with Richard and Jake...I'm tired. My eating has been atrocious, no exercise to speak of (though partly due to some muscle issue in my leg).
You could park cars in the bags under my eyes. Do cucumbers or tea bags actually work? I've never tried either, but I could use some serious help in that area. Kudos to those of you that juggle so much and somehow manage to do it looking fabulous.
I've got to get organized and back on track. Right now, that seems so monumental. Any tips?
