My Leave of Absence

Some of you may have been wondering where I've been and why I've taken a leave of absence from Blogging for the last two-ish weeks...

I have been:

• stressed out dealing with situations at work involving my rights as a working and pumping mama


• busy trying to get all of my work at work caught up and organized for a future big event that I hope happens soon so that I can tell you about it *praying*


• trying unsuccessfully to not stress out at home because I can't keep up with all of the house and baby work while working 5-6 days a week


• trying unsuccessfully to not stress out about money situations...it's difficult to make ends meet when your regular job pays you $11,000.00 less a year than the "average for your position in your area" according to online sources; and you're still left with school loan payments and a car payment (plus the usual stuff)...why'd we go to school again?

Yeah, I'm a real person after all. I'd love to say that I always find time to do the things I want to (in this case, Blog), but the truth is that sometimes I just don't get to it. Having the Internet only at work really limits online activity, too. *sigh* My resolution is to post as MANY times as I can today, provide you with some awesome giveaways, and write down the information that you've been asking for! With that said, I must get busy...Feel free to leave some war stories from your own life! Sometimes, commiserating makes one feel better.
