To many hours not enough time
Hi all you wonderful caregivers out there. I'm at work (don't tell my boss). I have already put in 12 hours today and now am pulling an 8 hour overnight, just to do another 12 hours tomorrow and again an 8 hour overnight. It seems that there are too many people who need loving care and not enough to supply it. Don't get me wrong, I am glad to have the hours and the people I am caring for I already have learned to love them, sleep? who needs that. My husband came home from our trip to Utah and got sick. He is running a temp and loosing his voice so when I am at home I need to take care of him also.( by the way did I tell you we live on a small farm with animals) It's all in a days work for the "care giver" Now I just have to remember my rubber gloves, some food to eat and a few Depends.

I hope you can take it easy this weekend. Sometimes it's good to work a lot of hours-Get some wealth. You get a bigger paycheck, and you have no time to spend any of it. [win-win}
ReplyDeleteWork, work, work. Is that all you ever do? If it's not one thing, it's two or three others, right? I hope Dad feels better soon. And don't work too hard, or you'll end up sick as well.
