I dont wannna work, I just wanna bang on the drum all day.....

For the first time in--well ever, I no longer work Fridays. At the bank, I held 2 positions, and I gave up my Friday shift at the bank last week. Oh my!--a day off during the week....what ever shall I do with myself...and I shouldnt have that big of a bill with the babysitter either. Jenna starts Nursery school again on Tuesday...woooohoooooo!!!!

Started working at a nursing home--different kind of job, but I dont really mind it at all. I can work midnights, allowing the girls to be home with Jim asleep and then I am home when they get up in the morning. Small sacrifice....but someone has to do it...!!!!

Back to School--It's not just for kids........

Well, not only was it back to school for Nicole on Tuesday, I started back as well. Through a Continuing Education Program, I am taking a course to become a certified PSW (Personal Support Worker). Tuesday and Thursday nights from 6-10, I sit in a classroom and try to learn something and not fall asleep after getting up early in the morning to get Coley ready for school and Jenna ready for the sitters. Then I go to my regular job and then school.....Oh, did I mention I have 2 jobs now? I also picked up a part time job at a nursing home here in town........So lets recap shall we?....2 jobs, 2 small kids, school 2 nights a week and Brownies (girl guides) sometimes I go to the gym too.....Think I need to schedule some time in there to sleep and eat....and more importantly, spend time with Jim and the girls..........
