Trying to find a way to spread all this work around. Two jobs is one to many. The office is easy, and fireworks can be, but combined its a lot of hours.
I have to put in 40 hours a week at the office, and now that its fireworks season, I need to use all my spare time there. Use to not bother me. I loved the money coming in and fireworks can be fun. But lately just seem tired all the time. I asked mom if she could cover half of my shift Saturday, I usually work 10 - 9, so i could get some extra sleep. Of course I am already feeling guilty about it and I am considering going in on my day off on Sunday for a few hours. That is not what I need to do!
On the good side, I am spending time with Skip tonight. Not sure what we are doing, but whatever it is I am sure it will be fun.
Last night I invited James to go out to eat with me at Ruby Tuesdays, I had a coupon for a buy one get one free meal. So I am thinking what a good way to spend time with my son before he ships off to basic. Well James had another idea, before I knew it he had 5 friends going, of course he asked and I could have said no, but I am such a sap! So we had dinner with several of James friends. It was nice.
Jess has plans to go help Dylan's Aunt move tonight, she wanted to spend the night and I said no, but I offer to let her go over for a while. It was my way of compromising. I feel like the evil mom a lot lately.
David is doing better, he finally got a sticker one day! He was good for a whole day! WOO HOO! Of course next day we got into trouble, but hey it was only a short note not two paragraphs long. He is riding the bus again and the bus rider says he is doing better. Meds must be working some.
I want to take the kids to the museum. I have free tickets but they expire at the end of this month. I am hoping to find some time to take them. I would like to make it a family thing, but it is hard to get all of us together.
The office is quite today, but I forgot my book to read, which is why this is a lengthy blog today.
Well just a couple weeks before James leaves for basic. I am arranging to have the 9th off so I can drive him to Greenwood, then on the 10th he is off to Fort Jackson. I know he is ready to go. tensions are growing at the house. We are all to strong willed there.
Well better go see if I can find some work to do. Tell someone you love them, and hug a friend today!
Being a better parent is never "evil". Jess probably doesn't like it, but I know what Jess DOES like, and I don't like it.
