so... lately I am REALLY feeling busy with managing these stinking apartments {phone ringing}and although life is great and it feels good to be 1/2 way through school- I am feeling sort of funky. I am really feeling to onset of summer because of the strange heat wave we had last week and the Onslaught of student that are calling to rent apartments. So seriously I am not exaggerating when I say my phone rings on average 20-30 times a day between the hours of about 10-5 generally are the worst. Not exaggerating a bit. {phone ringing}So... I am a little burned out and really wishing I didn't have to work so hard... I wish I were just independently wealthy or that I knew an old couple going on a mission in our ward so we could house sit for the next two years instead of babysit 56 crazy and at times ornery tenants. I need to say sorry to anyone (and especially Camber) that I have not called you back yet... I get really REALLY sick of talking on the phone which I have always hated anyways. It is not because I don't care about you or miss you... It is just that I feel like if I talk on the phone one more time my ears might fall off. literally. {phone ringing}I really feel like quitting sometimes ad believe me I would if I didn't feel so stuck. In fact the other day this thought acctually crossed my mind: "I really wish I were prgnant so that I could be really sick and justify quitting." disturbing- I know. {someone outside my door wanting to write me a check for moving in} do you see how annoying it is to be interrupted so many times a day? Is this really what I signed on for? {phone ringing}. Is it time for American Idol yet?
Today I am asking myself... how do I manage managing?

If you figure out the whole independently wealther thing please let me know. I could sooo use that about now.
This post totally cracks me up! Sorry about your bad day/week, but thanks for the good laugh!
Sounds fun... Right? Some days are bad at my work for that, too. There are certain days that the phone rings NON STOP! I wish everyone would just use online banking! Good old MACU. Actually, I don't know if I could manage apartments. I think I would go crazy. I feel for ya!

Hang in there girl-I can't even imagine living your life day after day. Someday, you'll look back and laugh at this post and be so grateful to have 10 children to clean up after, feed and get ready! I'm sure you'll have a new set of annoyances and frustrations because frankly life is just plain hard sometimes. Does that make you feel optimistic or what? What I meant to say was, hang in there, you'll be sipping virgin margaritas by a pool with no cares in the world (and no phone)in no time!
These moments are alot more humorous when it isn't happening to you. Kindof like when a 2 year old throws a major fit at church, to which you smile nicely at the poor mother thinking to yourself , geez I'm glad I'm not her right now!!! Thats how I feel for you. Hang in there sister! I won't call you anymoreif that Will that help? ;)
I feel for you, I really do! Just FYI, I have absolutely NO regrets with quitting. One of my chief complaints of course was that we were in Banks and not Forest Grove--which kept me completely out of the social loop. But, I don't regret quitting at all. In some ways I wish that we had done it sooner. But, your situation is different than mine was, and if you have it in you to keep going while BEING HAPPY, than go for it girl! I totally respect you!
Hey Char,
Don't you think this would be completely different if you weren't homesick or if you lived close to family? I totally am relating right now to the how to manage managing. I feel so overwhelmed and I really think living close to my mom would eliviate some of that. But just know you are not alone and everything will be worth it when Derek is though with school and he loves his profession. I know you can manage!
Loves,
Jamie
I am so impressed that you are still managing your apartments. Good for you Char! Someday it will pay off and you will really appreciate it when you don't have to work. Hang in there.
