One of my three jobs right now includes a shift on Monday morning that begins at 5:30. This requires me to get up at 4:30 if I want a shower and if I don't shower I stay sleepy. So I grudingly attempt this 4am wake up. Both girls have terrible coughs and runny noses so I was up two or three times last night with the youngest and made the husband get up with the oldest the one time she woke. Then again he stayed up late with her as well.
This is not a nark on my husband. He is wonderful and supportive and is an amazing worker. So amazing he actully got a promotion and a pretty generous raise. Do you know what this means? This means that I have one more 5:30am shift after the one I am at right now! It felt so good to give this up. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoy this job but now I can give up the 3-7 hours a week I am here and spend that time sleeping so I am not cranky mom 100% of the time. I will still probably be cranky 80-90% but it's an improvement right?
The downside to my husbands promotion is his new hours. This puts the girls in the hands of someone else at my favorite time of day with them. The time between dinner and bedtime. I like my snuggles and playtime when we don't have to rush to be anywhere but in bed. Oh well, it's not forever right? I will learn to charish other times of the day I suppose.
Another wonderful thing. I was able to get mucho study time in and got an "A" on my German Cinema paper. For the first time in a long time I am carrying awesome grades and I am damn proud of it. By dropping some work hours I am confident that I will continue this trend.
Now...to get the girls feeling better.
