When we were younger it wasn't unthinkable or even unreasonable for D to spend 12-14 hours at work during "Crunch". Everyone hunkered down and made the project happen in those last weeks or months. D is in crunch mode and they are at least 6 months out from project completion. What is really frustrating is seeing how D's body doesn't handle it as well as it used to.
Maybe its the addition of the kids, but he's already looking like he's frazzled and its only been a few weeks of insanity...he's got many more months of marathon to go. His adrenal glands are clearly taxed and he is headed for one huge wipeout. I hope he doesn't end up in the hospital with an infection after this is over. I also hope that the project changes gears and makes the crunch less of a battle and more of a creation. Right now it seems like they are fighting uphill with giants who don't agree on how to fight.
And so it is with the desire to ease his pain later that I MUST begin to earn money. I really don't want to return the "workplace" because we've been talking about homeschooling the kids, but I wonder about putting the boys into 3 mornings a week at preschool and the school district's "homeschool" option. That would allow me time to work and homeschool...its a thought.
And so I have begun looking at many options, including actually training in medical transcription. But that's more money out than in...might not be the worst option tho...I'm also applying for online blog-type work.
Time will tell I guess...
