~Normalcy~

That is what my new job brings with it.  My schedule for next week? Monday 6am-3pm, Tuesday 7am-4pm, Wednesday 8am-5pm, Thursday Off, Friday 8am-5pm, Saturday 8am-5pm.  Yes there is still weekends but it is only Saturdays and a shift that still allows us to do something together in the evening.  Most of my shifts will be 8am-5pm with and occasional 6am start in there (YUCK) but at least I’m done and home by 4pm!  I will be able to put Ethan into swimming lessons in the fall and other fun classes…I am so excited by the possibilities. 

Another bonus is that I get to do some travel with this job.  Most likely it will only be to Edmonton and Saskatoon but hey, a free trip without the family is always a good thing eh?  After the last two weeks with Ethan full time I feel like taking another weeks holiday to recuperate!  I’m not cut out to be a stay at home Mom, I think I would go crazy!  I would need to find ways to motivate myself to get involved in many things that would keep Ethan busy that is for sure!

I look forward to having meals at a normal time and having time after dinner to enjoy our family…what a novel thought eh?  I have my menu planned for my first weeks of work and I’m making some great meals that I could usually only make on my days off! 

Plus there are great opportunities for advancement for me.  I’m completing my degree starting in October or November, and it will take me a year or two to complete.  Thankfully I have a friend taking her degree right now while working full time that will be able to help motivate me and keep me on track.

So that’s all I know for now, can’t wait to tell you all about my first day!
