Last week, I had to work on 44 files and so for most of the week I was coming home at 6:30ish and 7:00ish. Not a good thing,especially since when I was at home I was STILL working. Argh! Anyway, I had double files to work on since my team partner wasn't at school (and won't be for another month or so due to maternity leave). Thus, I had to complete my paperwork (as well as hers). Fortunately, I got it all done (yes, it took a few days of my heart feeling as though it was going to expire from beating so fast when I was in my oh-my-gosh-i-feel-as-if-i-will-not-get-this-done-on-time mode.)
This week I am making an effort to leave at least by 4:15 everyday. That's my goal. Let's see if I can keep it. (Fingers crossed!)
On Friday, we had an early release, so I was able to dash over to visit Mom at the home. And I found her in a state. She was hunched over to the side and completely drenched with sweat. Seeing her that way pained me to the core. I was so upset, but kept back the tears. Instead, I got the nurses to help me change her, and then after Mom was tucked into bed for some rest, I demanded answers as to why she wasn't being looked after properly. I spent the remainder of the afternoon with Mom until it was time to take her to the dining room.
Friday evening through Saturday was spent with me battling a Stomach Virus, which my better half had had on Friday and that I caught later that evening. On Saturday afternoon, we went grocery shopping and then as soon as we got home, my energy was depleted from being ill. I slept for a few hours and then it was time to make dinner. I made Chicken Pie (thanks to Tyson's delish recipe book!) and both Leigh and I enjoyed the meal. By then, I felt alot better!
This weekend was also spent on working on 8 lesson plans, and they are all done now so I can relax for a few minutes. Well, at least until the laundry is done!
