Do I have "USE ME AS YOU MAY" stamped on my forehead?

16 days until school starts...I don't know if I can make it (or if they will make it for that matter.) I love my children dearly, but I understand why some don't.

My in-laws left for WV today, so I have their barking dog from hell for the week. Because my 2 dogs aren't enough. I really need to learn to say the word "no" and mean it. He has only bitten me once, what a sweet dog he is, not. I feel like everyone knows I work from home, but sometimes I think people (including my own family) think that is really "not work" and I am here for them, to call, to run errands, to do their bidding. I guess I should stop whining and just be glad I can afford to work from home.

I have asked my boss for more work. That could really backfire on me...I am hoping I won't get overwhelmed and not be able to finish. She likes a 24 hour turn around. I really don't get paid enough to worry this much. OCD kicks in about now!!

I kind of discussed with H that my emotional needs aren't really being met and I feel like when he is not around, nothing in my life changes. He didn't take that well, took it as an attack and started yelling that he was paying all the bills and for everything else, so he was doing his part. Sometimes I think he either doesn't want to get it, or doesn't care.

Work just came in, got to go!
