8/30/11 - It's Arrived..

...my full, EXPLODING inbox that is. Yes, it's arrived. Through the course of the morning, 29 new requests filled up my inbox. I know that doesn't mean much to most people, because they have no idea what that really means, but take my word for it...it's a ridiculous amount of requests. To get an idea...that brings my total number of current requests to 52, the other administrators in my office have 10, and 15. Yeah, you read that right.

It was very overwhelming at the end of the day to sit there, look at that pile, on top of everything else I have to keep up on, I felt a little panicked. I mean, where do you start? How do you determine which requests are more important that others. And, having that many people to answer to when things don't move quickly, is a scary thought for me. When it comes to work, I am a people pleaser...I have for people to think badly of me, and hate the thought that people may think I'm slacking, or anything like that. Ugh.

After a long, stressful day at work, we had a pretty low key night at home. Christian and the girls ate dinner at his mom's house, so I cleaned the basement, and FINALLY repacked up the girls' clothes. It's always nice to get the disaster of a basement cleaned up and looking fresh again. Ha.

Once they arrived home, we just hung out for the evening. The usual. Yesterday the girls received a package from one of my amazing online friends...some special made blankets. Since we weren't really home, they didn't get to see them, so we opened them up today. They LOVE them! It was so cute to see their reactions. Here are a few pics.
