I've been plagued by some thoughts lately that I think I need to blog about to get it off my mind. First I want to say I am grateful for our new home and we love it. Secondly I am grateful I have a job now (even if its at a gas station) but I am not grateful for hardly ever seeing my family because of it. I close practically okay mostly every night. Randy works days and when he gets off work I go in. I'm usually going to work before our son ever gets home from school. By the time I get home they are in bed. We never get to spend time together as a family. Not by my definition. Randy and I don't get to go on dates because I work every weekend and by the time I get home I'm too tired to care I just want sleep and to relax my feet (which I have had to see a Dr for multiple times now). The time I do get I have to spend running errands and cleaning.
Granted one benefit is very little daycare but Randy and I have never gotten along or tend to fight more because we never really see each other. I was told when I got the job I would close 2 nights max but it is all the time now this is ridiculous. Is it too much to ask to want to spend time with your family? Maybe I'm being selfish.
All of us at work were already told that we have to work Christmas Day
. It's hard telling what shift I'll get. If it s anything like Thanksgiving Day it will suck. I closed the night before and then had to make a couple of things before I went to bed to be at work the next morning at 9 till 2. I then came home and had to finish making and baking Thanksgiving Dinner. I then closed the next 2 nights and opened on Sunday. Needless to say I was extremely tired. So I doubt I will see much family this year on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day. So how am I supposed to get into the holiday spirit. Its already tough to get into the spirit without both of my parents here. I guess I will have to figure out a way to make Jesus' birthday special for the kids somehow. I don't know how yet, They won't get much and I know it isn't about that but I want it to be special in some way.
I guess deep down I feel like I have abandoned the family to a point. I'm use to working days not all evenings I enjoy being with my family and I would like to have some time with them. And I liked it when Randy and I could go on a date but now I don't foresee that anytime soon. Hopefully things will change but I highly doubt it right now.
I have been gone for so long I 'm not real sure what to post about anymore. I've considered redoing my blog or just leaving it the way it is. I know I have lost most of my readers and that is my fault. I still have somewhat writer's block but I do want to come back to all of my faithful readers and friends. I'm just not sure what to write about. I am open to feedback . Do you think I should still keep my blog the way it is or change it up some? I'm just curious to see what you all have to say.
As promised I said I would introduce you to our other new cat. He is a male Seal point Simaese. (Might be a blue point Not sure). Anyway we were debating on names for him and we chose Phoenix. (we also debated on Ramsey). He is approximately 7 monthes old.
I think he will be a great addition to the family. He loves to play and is full of personality.
Hi everyone I just wanted to introduce you to one of the newest members of our family. Meet Anastasia (Annie for short). She was a rescued cat that we adopted.
I know with all th elove she will recieve she will not be so scared anymore and she will look a lot healthier. We may have another cat coming soon too and if we do get him I will post his pics too.
Well I have been MIA long enough. Here's what has been going on, We are finally moved and we love the new place. We are still unpacking but overall we are done. WOOO HOOO! I have been working a lot but still desire to be out of retail. Oh well maybe someday. Gage starts wrestling for middle school soon. His first practice is this week. Faith has met all but one goal in her speech class and she is getting so big.
I was also made a member of my church officially today. Here is a photo of 3 other's and I getting presented to the church congregation.
Well that's all for now I'll post more later promise.
Well we are pretty much moved in. Still unpacking and cpl more things to move at the old house but we are staying at the new place now. We absolutely love it.
Gage and I got sick but we are doing better. That's what I get for moving in the rain and cold weather. LOL!
I've also been watching an old 80's mini series while I was sick. How many of you remember the show "V" . This was a show my dad and I enjoyed watching together. I usually don't get into sci-fi stuff but this just brings back good old memories. Anyway I guess a new series is coming out and of course I'll watch it to see what it is all about. Here is a website specifically pinned for the the original and the new series. http://thevisitors.info/
