6 55 am pst   [ stress ]

Today I am working on worrying less, since I worried a lot at the end of the day yesterday.

I tried to go with the flow, but each time someone lays down a deadline for paperwork they haven't given me, I start to get really nervous. Like the form that says that I need a physical withing seven days of employment. I got that yesterday, after I'd been employed for more than seven days. If they don't care then I don't care, but I am very nervous about something coming back to bite me after they've told me not to worry about the deadline.

So I need to let that go and focus on playing with the kids. They are great. They yell "Rachel!" when they see me and run to hug me. I am suddenly not the strict one because the woman I work with is very strict. It's quite a change. So I can worry less about me, and focus on keeping the kids safe and happy, and all will be well.
