Showing my brain off

I know I am not the only one
This is totally off the usual topic but I felt like it was a good one.
I work a lot of long hours at a very boring job.. Makes my days go by slow and I usually leave with a headache. Monday I usually wake up annoyed. I'm sure many people feel this way, it's not just me. I am not putting my company down but I am honestly ready to move onto bigger and better things. The problem is, working over 50 hours a week doesn't allow time for job interviews. "Take a few days off and do it." Some have suggested. Ha! That isn't as easy as it sounds. With my company I feel like I have to be going out of town for a special reason or dying to take a full day off. It is kind of sad when you are given an amount of days to take off yet you feel guilty using them because there isn't anyone to take your place when you are gone. Is that fair? No. Life isn't fair, I know. I hear that all the time. Should I have to have an excuse to have a day off though? No. I should be able to ask off whenever I want if I have the days to use. My kids live in another state. I would really like to go visit them. I would need to take a Friday or Monday off though or it would be a rushed visit. Is asking for Friday or Monday off a good idea? No! Busy busy busy.. That is all I ever am. I am tired, achy, stressed, and down right annoyed with everything and everyone. Is that a healthy way to go about? No!
I am also in school.. Yes working 50+ hours, going to school, caring for my home and husband doesn't leave me an ounce of time for me. Is it selfish wanting a little me time? Weekends you say.. What about the weekend? I am so busy on the weekends catching up on everything I can't do during the week and trying to enjoy life just a little so that I don't strangle anyone.. Yes that is my whole entire weekend.. Busy busy busy. I know I am not the only one..
I have basically completely stopped working on my book.. Why? Time. No time for writing. Does that piss me off? In a huge way that I cannot describe. Do I have time for any kinds of engagements to go speak at or for updating my website, or for sitting down to help recoveries like I would like and was honestly planning for? You can guess what the answer is to that one but just in case you forgot...NO!
Yes I am frustrated, yes I am ranting, and yes it is causing a lot of rocks in my whole life plan, my job is, I mean. Do I need this job.. Yes of course, I have a car payment, I have child support.. I have financial needs. Do I need more money from my job? Who doesn't and anyone would say yes to that, but is it seriously a need or just a want. Mine is a serious need.. It is ridiculous and it frustrates me even more.
Maybe sooner or later I will find a little piece..
