Retail and the Pregnant Woman

On Monday I wrote about busyness.  I'm still feeling very stressed about the holidays, but it soon will pass.  Only 18 more days to go and it will be over.  See, Christmas has always been one of my favorite holidays.  When you work retail, that notion goes out the window-especially when you work in a jewelry store!

Some days I have no idea how I will make it to closing.  My feet/ankles are swelling each day.  And between the ligament pain and daily headaches...  It's been a long holiday season for me already.  I've truly wanted to limit my caffeine, but I cannot right now.  I think I'll get a better handle on it once January arrives.  My mantra is to take it all one day at a time.  If I don't, I'll never make it.  All of the girls at work are great, and they can tell when I'm tired.  They've all been so good to take care of me.  So I'm sure that I can handle 18 (working 15) more days of crazy-busyness at work.  I mean, I endured many cycles TTC with stimulation drugs, and IVF with OHSS...what's 15 more days crazy of Christmas shoppers?  =)
