ok so here I am sitting at home working .... Most people would think i have the "perfect" job ... but I don't knwothat there is such a thing. I get to stay at home with my kids and I don't have to commute to work and I dont have to purchase work clothes. I sit at home on the phone and take orders for customers. My problem comes that I have been doing this now for 2 years. I sit for 6 hours shift ending at 1am. I need something ACTIVE, where I am up and moving. I can't stand working until 1am ... I am working 5 days this week until 1am, then I have to get u in the morning with the kids and do my cakes, run errands, clean house .... i just wish I could quit my job, get some more sleep and be able to wake rested and not feelsotired during the day that I feel the need to take 100 breaks to sit and catch my breath.
Does anyone else feel this way with their job .... that you are just burnt out and wish you could get something else ... I just want to quit and do cakes. But that is not an option right now ... I also wish myhusband made enough to support the family, and for the first 4 years of our marriage I am a SAHM only but the cost of living is just outrageous and has forced me to get a job and I just feel overwork and under appreciated and just want to quit my J-O-B and start to build a successful, enjoyable career without havng to put my children into daycare
I understand. It's so hard to be a SAHM. I did it for a while and really, am doing that now except that I work 1 day a week at the local doctor's office as a Spanish interpreter...and then in the summer, I sell at the farmers markets so get out to do that.
Do you have the time to work maybe a couple days or evenings waiting tables? maybe on your husband's day off or something? I don't know. I loved waiting tables when I did it. It's very active and you get some adult conversation time also...can be very good money too.
It's so hard to make ends meet these days. Why can't we go back to the days where the guy worked and the mom watched the kids and took care of the homeplace (if wanted). It just seems that both parents have to work anymore just to make ends meet 
i can sympathize with you. I work 40 hours a week out side the home, and have been doing it since the children were very little. I work 5:30am to 1:30pm as a cook in a nursing home. And I'm so tired of the alarm going off at 4am every morning, that i could just scream.
Vacations are my salvation even if i don't get to go any where, i get to get some much needed sleep.
I have thought of getting a different job, but i just can't see me working till 5 at night or not having my one day off during the week. Seeing that i'm home nearly everyday by 2pm, i was able to give up a full time sitter when my kids started school, which saved big time. And it allows my kids to be involved in sports and other activities. Cause then i do all the running in the afternoon, get to see all their activities and it then brings it into focus for me.
Maybe you need to take a step back and think about why you are working the hours you are working, and think about other options. After weighing it all it might not be as bad as you think right now.
And the other thing is can you take a couple of day off, just so that you can get some of that much needed sleep.
I'm curious how often your phone rings? Is it a separate phone line in your home? Does it disturb those who are sleeping? What time does your shift begin?
Oh it is just like a call center, my phone rings once at the beginning of my shift and then I don't hang up and I stay connected to the phone system while I work, the only one who knows when I get a call is me (I get a beep in my headphones telling me when a call is coming through). and how many calls just depends, I can have 1 call every 10 minutes one hour and then have calls non stop back to back with like 2 seconds in between the rest of the night.
I mean it isn't THAT bad, I do sometimes get scheduled to work until 10pm or 11pm but the majority of the time I am working until 1 (oh I should mention that I am having health problems and the lack of sleep isnt helping which is also why I am getting pretty burnt out). It just stinks to have to sit around in a brainless job where I act like a robot going through the same toutine every call every night placing orders for people. It helps us survive but man it is hard to leave my family in the evenings and not tuck my kids into bed and go to the next room to work.
