September happenings

Well, it's been the first week of my new work schedule of working 6:30am-9:15 and 1:00-6:00. It's been better than I expected but still an adjustment. I'm finding that a quick nap between jobs is the only thing that gets me thru the rest of the day. This past summer I've developed a habit of staying up pretty late. Now, 9:00 hits and I'm ready to drop! I try to make it till 10 just because it seems so silly that I get home from work at 6 and only have 3 hours before I go to bed. I'm sure that I'll soon find the perfect schedule for me and adjust. I do have to say it is nice getting close to 40 hours a week instead of a little over 20!

The new school year has been a nice change with some new kids moving up in my room. This brings about a different atmosphere in the room as we are finding that this group interacts very well and for the moment, seems less chaotic. I'm sure that is all to change though! :)

It's also been nice this week to spend some time with Tristyn and Peyton and Laura. There's nothing like playing "Mr. Fox" and "Mother May I" with the boys! What a great excuse to run around like a little kid.

Overall, things are going well. Can't wait to see what the rest of September brings!

Good bye Summer :(

My 4th summer at Marantha officially ended on Monday. I enjoy that job, but it was good to be done. I usually have a much slower work pace after that ends, but I jumped right in at the daycare picking up an early morning shift at the elementary school. I work there from 6:30-9:00, then my regular shift at the daycare from 1-6. Not quite sure how I like that yet. I can tell you right now that I HATE getting up so early. But, everyone says I will get adapt. Each year I take a "sanity trip" somewhere to relax and regain myself as I transition work schedules. This year I'm heading off to see my friend Val in Ohio. My other friend Lora just moved from there last weekend to Tennessee, so I'm sad I wont see her. It will be different, but I know Val and I will have a blast. As the season is changing (well, ok so technically not really... it's been the hottest it's been all summer!) I think ahead to this fall. It will be nice to have my evenings and weekends free again. At the beginning of October, I'm heading off to Canada to visit my friend. Always enjoy that. I'm also looking forward to the start of The Office. I'm a little late, but yes, I have started watching that show. I had no clue what I was missing! I've watched season 2-3 in just a few days times. Simply hilarious! Can't wait to see what happens next! So there you have it... one job ending, one (very early) job beginning, some trips, and The Office. Life is good! :)
