nap = bad.

i should not have taken that nap today after work because i cannot fall asleep now.
ugh.
but i was exhausted.
the store is now open on saturdays. today was the first. so we had another sale, which meant nonstop customers.
and i was working alone.
ugh.
not sure how much longer it will be until i am done with that.

last night, my brother called because baby victoria was throwing up nonstop. he was home alone with her because amanda is on her e.r. rotation, which means 12 hour night shifts. i was so sad to hear that victoria was so sick, and i can't help but feel that being in daycare is the main reason behind her being sick all the time. so. i asked my dad if he thought that i should move down and take care of her so she doesn't have to go to daycare. he replied with something along the lines of: "i think you should get things on track for your future."
ouch. not what i expected to hear.
i'm working on it, dad. but thanks for the reminder.
i know he's not disappointed in me. but i think he's disappointed in what i'm doing right now. he's always encouraged me to work up to my full potential. and taking a year off isn't something that will ever be worthwhile in his eyes. it's not something that he ever really approved of for me. so no matter how many professors told me it was ok... it's not feeling so good right about now.

anyway. i guess i'll go read my book for a while.
i hope everyone enjoys the rest of the weekend. :]

p.s. i'm sad that i missed out on the balloon races because of work.
another reason to add to my list. ha.
