Not Humpty Dumpty
August 10th will be the beginning of my first week on first shift. I've been on third shift now for about a year and a half. I don't mind it too much and I will miss it and the people with whom I work, however, I am looking forward to it.
My schedule has been ridiculous. It has been difficult to want to work out on work days, because I sleep during the day and work all night. Now, with my DH working, I have to sleep during particular hours so that I can go pick up our DS from day camp. Once I pick him up, I need to sometimes and somehow try to make dinner, get ready for work, feed and entertain my DS and maybe even get him ready for bed, all in the span of about 3 hours. With my ADHD, this is not as easy as it may sound. I have been trying to get used to my DH's work schedule and how it has affected my schedule, not to mention try figuring out how to get some exercise in there and manage to stay on top of my diet.
I don't feel like it's all a lost cause, but pile all of those things up with the fact that July was Family-In-From-Out-Of-Town Month, and it was like, whoa... Running here and there and everywhere to spend quality time with loved ones whom we miss like crazy was all worth it, but I was really lacking in the discipline area without a doubt.
So, August 10th is the Sunday before I go to a set schedule. I get to have dinner with my family every night and see my DH for more than 30 minutes a day on the days that I work. I plan on signing up my DS at the gym, so that after work/school, we can go to the gym and he can play while I work out. I won't have to miss any time with my DH and I think this will be easier on all of us.
I will not be participating in the Biggest Loser 5k this weekend, because my husband's schedule got changed and now I am not able to go. Can't let the little man fend for himself while I go off to Chicago! That's just not okay! I am still planning on the 10k in September, though.
These past few weeks have been a challenge and have had me all over the place. I have been starting over again every day and that is not what I am trying to do here. I can and will put it all back together again, but it's not going to look like it did before. I am not Humpty Dumpty. :)
