Well I have learn to appreciate the days that I get off so much more. I thought I was going to work tonight but found out the schedule was changed. Yes, it is a waste of gas to get there and find that I am not working. But the idea of staying home and relaxing for the night is so much more worth the excitment of coming home. Since I work 6 nights a week between two jobs. My one day off is usually sleeping or staying awake as long as I can to do the things I haven't gotten too. But two days off oh boy. I am awake and enjoying the time off. Most likely I will not sleep tonight but oh well I have had 24 hours of sure bliss of nothing but my time.
I sure miss the days when I just worked 3 days a week for 12 hours and had the rest of the days of the week off. Thanks to that schedule I was able to go to school full time and get my licenses as a Vocational Nurse. But never having to take a sick day, comp time or vacation was nice. I just spend my time doing whatever. I am looking forward to those days once again. Some day soon I will have that schedule again. I never took it for granted when I did because I knew that I would eventually come back to 8 hours day grind once again.
Funny, when I was so use of 8 hours a day, I went kicking and screaming going to 12 hours. After a year of doing the shift I wouldn't have had it any other way. Your week is done and over with if you did them in a row. You could plan things around family event's, after school stuff with kids. The day care was so much simplier.
Well I know that I am looking forward to those days again in my future. Hmmm what a nice day off.

Vacations and Decision's
Well I am slow to blog per usual. But things in my life are pretty boring. But I did do something that I hadn't done in a while and that is I went on a vacation. I flew back to Washington just me and my daughter and stayed with the parents. It was so nice and stress free.
My daughter and I were laughing and have remarked to many of the California's since we went back how you can pretty much throw a rock in any direction and you will be sure to hit a Starbuck's. Funny how the Great Northwest loves their coffee. Yes, they are the home of Starbuck's that is true. But it cracked me up that there are caddies for your coffee cups in the grocery store carts. My daughter had a Starbuck's where ever we went. The funny thing is that last day when we were flying out she asked for a Jama Juice instead. She was coffee out. I myself love the Chai Tea.
But the whole vacation was very relaxing and stress free. We played cards every night. I had a nice glass of wine and visit with friends and family. Got to met my niece and nephew which I hadn't met yet. They are both so different night and day in personality. I loved it. No worries, or woes, just thoughts of home. I missed my two main guys in my life. My daughter missed her friend.
Thank god there is way's to save on your phone bills now. Because pretty much most people have unlimited long distance plans. So you can talk endlessly on the phone. We both spoke to some one from home everyday.
I did make a decisions to get the finanances together tp move home. I made that big decisions soon after I got there. So now the planning is to start to figure out job and place situation. So myself and husband are figuring on how to accomplish this adventure. Having a grown child who made not move with the parents in one distraction right now. Then I need to look into changing my licenses to Washington State. I know that I don't need to take the boards again. I think it is basically paying for their fees and such.
I was looking into a year but finanancially it made me two due to the economy. Getting all the debts payoff or down to a livable amount for the move. We are now going through the things that we don't need in our lives and weeding out the many things that we don't need to make the trip with us. Getting the kids on board too. My son has started to figure out what he needs to do in his life and how to achieve it. Our daughter young enough that she will follow us up there in the move.
I had to do the thing and ask for help from my brothers which both agree in was time to come back and they will help. So we will see what happens in this first year and if I need to extend I am sure the family will understand my needs. But they will be there in the end. That is what families are for support line.
Hmmm what a future I have decided. Well I don't know when I will post again. I won't make any promises. Watching the political races and such I sure I will have a comment or two to make before long.
