Night Shifts

Grrr.

That is all that I can say.

Grrr.

I guess it wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't picking up extra shifts and working 5 nights a week (12 hours each night). But, right now, we need the extra money.

I am really looking forward to coming home for my bridal shower in a couple weeks. I fly home Thursday and come back on Tuesday. That will be a really nice break for me. In addition to having 6 days off (in a row), I only work regular full time hours both those weeks, none extra. So that is also a nice break.

Then, 5 weeks after that...Shaun and I fly home to get married. We can't wait. We are getting really excited. We are hearing about more and more people making reservations to come. Alot more from his side of the family are coming, than we originally had guessed. Which is way exciting.

I get three weeks vacation for the wedding/honeymoon. That will be so nice!! We were going to spend a week cruise in the Meditteranean, but when we bought our house, some priorities changed. We cancelled that expensive trip, and decided to take a nice, relaxing week in the Poconos, at a really nice Bed and Breakfast. Hiking, relaxing, swimming, relaxing, horseback riding, relaxing, shopping, relaxing, hottubbing. I think you get the point.

Then it will be back to night shifts, but I am only picking up extra shifts into June. After that, it is only fulltime regular work hours for me. Except an occasional extra shift, here or there.

I know this crazy schedule is only temporary, but it sure stinks while I am doing it. I don't get much done around the house, and I am so tired on my days off. But Shaun is great, he picks up the slack for now. I love that man! He is amazing. And soon, he will be my amazing husband. I can't wait!!! :)
