Keeping up.

This week so far has been hell, and its only Tuesday. My boss at work had an emergency appendectomy this weekend so he is gone probably all week, at least. So it's just me and one other guy in our dept. And of course, this has to be the busiest week we've had in forever. We can hardly keep up. I have been going in 2 hours earlier than normal and probably even earlier the rest of the week. I don't know how people do this full-time working mom thing, esp if you are alone. I know technically I am not a "single" mom but for a year I get to experience it. Great! Maybe it wouldn't be soo bad if work wasn't so crazy right now, but I am about to go insane. I just don't know how to balance being the only parent at home to take care of Jackson and having a stressful, crazy job. I feel bad not being able to stay late and help out at work, but at the same time I have a baby to take care by myself. He needs me too, and probably more than they do, but it doesn't make me feel any less guilty. I want to and have to be there for him. And I dont' want to me a tired, stressed out, impatient mom to him. He deserves my full attention. I just don't know how to keep up.
