No Sleep for the Tired.

This guy's got the right idea. I am so tired. SO tired! I love my job and I love my home life but it is tiring! For those of you who don't know I work as a primary therapist and am coordinator of the young adult program at Strong Ties (an outpatient mental health clinic). So basically I work with people with Schizophrenia, Bipolar D/O, Borderline personality D/O etc. I LOVE the clients, especially the young adults. They are challenging, energentic and funny. But after weeks like this one I am tired. There are just some days when a client gets to you and you think about them after five on Friday.
I used to count on the weekend to catch up on rest but with our lives now it just isn't something that is completely feasible. It feels like there is always something to do. I am trying to catch up on work work at home and trying to keep up with home stuff (i.e. cleaning, laundry etc.) but it is tough.
In lieu of all this perceived complaining, I own the fact that I made these choices. This is what I chose in terms of my job. But damn it's tiring!
The great news is that I am off for an entire week the second week of July! So is Matt. It is going to be great. I am including a trip to Philly in there too to see my best friend's prego belly! And Lisa is going with me so it is going to be perfect! Nighty nighty.
