~A New Week in the life of….~

Well it’s Monday again, and we start the rat race we call life over again for another week.  There is lots of things that are taking place this week in our house.  I have Tuesday off from work and I will be taking Ethan to daycare and going out with my resume to knock on doors to find a new job.  Now that Ethan is okay and we don’t have to commit to taking him to Edmonton week after week I am going to work on finding a job that is a M-Fri, 8-5 kind of schedule.  I am tired of working shift work and weekends because it feels like there is never a break or time to spend with Randy and Ethan.  It’s just a constant wheel that just keeps turning…

Anyhow, there are some great jobs posted right now in town that would work well for us.  The pay won’t likely be as good as my position with Reitmans but I’m willing to sacrifice a little pay for a better family life.  I’m applying to banks, the City of GP, a couple of oil companies, and a large distribution company.  So send some good thoughts my way that something good comes my way!

So that is the day part of Tuesday, that night we are going over to one of the houses that we rent out to clean it.  We did an eviction on Saturday and it was left as a total pig pen!  But we are getting a free big screen TV and there are all kinds of other things that we need to go through and donate/keep for ourselves.  Plus of course I will be paid $20 an hour to clean it.  I guess it is a mess though so it will take a couple of nights to finish. 

Wednesday is date night and we are getting a sitter and going to see Alice in Wonderland in 3D.  I can’t wait to see it, it looks like it is going to be so good.  After we will go somewhere for a quick bite to eat and then home.

Thursday and Friday nights will likely be more cleaning at the rental house.  Saturday is the day that we are putting in our new high efficient furnace…YAY!!!  I’m so excited to get it in, it will save us tonnes of money on power and gas and best yet, it will be free with our Energy retrofit grant!!!  I also have a baby shower that I’m debating on going to Saturday afternoon for a girl that works for me.  I may just send a gift and stay close to home in case Randy needs help. 

Sunday is Easter and the bunny will be visiting our house and bringing lots of goodies for little man, pictures to follow.  Plus I will likely cook up some type of big dinner for that day, not sure if it will be a turkey or a roast beef.  Whatever strikes our fancy closer to the day I guess. 

My Mom is in town and has been here since last Sunday and I haven’t seen her yet so I’m hoping that she will spend next weekend with us….hint hint! 

So the week is full for us as usual.  I’m hoping to schedule some interviews in the next week based on dropping off my resume this week.  I think I’m off the following Thursday so hopefully I can fill it up with interview after interview.  Cross your fingers for me!!!
