Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Dawn, Congratulations on the job. I know this must be a very stressful time for you, but before you know it you will have a new routine established and things will be looking up. Are there any tasks on your list that you can give to Ralph? I know when you are home it is very easy to pick up all of the everyday tasks, but can you now delegate some of them to hubby? Having recently gone back to work myself, I've had to get the whip out with the kids and get them back to their daily chores... is responsible for folding and putting away the laundry, for emptying the dishwasher, taking out the trash and shoveling.. Thought this is not a lot it sure takes some of the stress off of me... Hugs, Joni - Dr. Thayer 11/27/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its hard to read the digest thingee I quit that too. Hey the nice part is that you get to organize your new life and check in with the list on weekends!

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Dawn I get tired just reading your email about your new routine. Hang in there I'm sure it will all settle into place. Congrats on the new job & feeling so good again. You deserve it! Hugs Lyssa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Dawn, Congratulations on the new job. I think that is wonderful. It is going to take a while to get your life in order. Don't expect it to all happen at once. You will get there. Deligate a little. Marriage is a partnership expecially with both of you working. You will get there. If being on the computer with us is a pleasure (and we certainly love you here), it will work itself into your schedule. You can cut down on the responses, and just answer when something really hits you that someone has not answered before you. We certainly miss you, but do what is convenient for your life. Do not overdo, especially if you are sick and fighting bronchitis. You don't want to end up flat and be out of work, etc. Again, so happy for you about your new job. Take life slowly.

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2001 Report Share Posted January 20, 2001 Hi Joni, Ralph is a HUGE help to me, I'm the type of person though, that takes things all on my own shoulders. I like giving to people, not taking...it's something I must work on I suppose! Today I'm well rested, and ready to conquer the things I didn't get done this week, concentrating on my newly painted bathroom, of which I can now put up all our new stuff from the wedding! I can't wait! I'm finally gonna have my " girly " bathroom I've always wanted! LOL! For once in my life, I'll have matching ensembles in a place I spend little time in! LOL! Thanks for you input, I'm sure it's just the unknown challenges that are creeping up a bit! Dawn Re: Update on Dawn Dawn, Congratulations on the job.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2001 Report Share Posted January 21, 2001 Dawn: Wow, you really have a full plate right now (not literally, of course). Congrats on the new job. You don't say what your profession is, but I am sure you will be a success. Isn't it amazing how much time taking care of a husband, house and animals takes up? I though things would slow down now that our two daughters are grown, but the weekends are busier than ever! Good to hear from you. Keep in touch when you can.
