So I realised it has been forever since I have written on here. Just a lot has been going on. I think the last time that I blogged was when I was watching Amiah full-time. I have since gotten a job at Road Ranger gas station working third shift. At first it took a while to get used to becoming a night owl. But after a while I got used to being up in the middle of the night. I have been there 6 months now and I can’t say that I hate my job. I actually like the people that I work with. The only bad part about working third shift is that I don’t get to see my niece as often and I am not as social as one would be if they were to work normal hours haha. Oh well I knew what I was going to have when I got hired in so I shouldn’t complain.
We are in the process of looking for a new car. I ended up selling the Focus to my dad and he has been happy ever since with it. I am glad that I could have sold it to someone I know as opposed to a complete stranger. Now we actually have to get our butts in gear and go to our bank to get the loan and then go to dealerships and test drive some cars. Chad and I have some in mind that we want but it’s totally different when you are actually in the car and have to see how you like it. We will be paying for a while on the car so I wanted to make sure that we like it for long-term.
Today some family is coming over for Chad’s mom’s birthday. That’s another thing about working third shift, trying to sleep during the day. Sometimes I feel that it’s next to impossible to get a good sleep in when everyone else in the household is up. There is not much I can do about it at the moment so I just accept it and do what I can do. Right now I am listening to some Tori Amos. It’s been quite a while since I have actually listened to her. At work, every month, we choose what kind of music is played each month and this time we have Adult Alternative and They have been playing Tori Amos which is really surprising because you don’t hear her often at establishments.
Last night I went over to my sister Jen’s to see her, Amiah, and Ray. It’s hard to spend time with them with them working full-time and me too so we try to get together whenever we can. Even if it is just for an hour or so. This week I have Sun, Mon, and Tue. off so hopefully can spend more time with them on one of those days. Amiah is practically walking everywhere. It’s so cute because she will think that she can run and will plop right down when her little legs start going. It’s so cute to watch her as she explores everything.
