Broken record moment: Aaron works 3rd shift. I worked third shift last night too...8pm-6am pulling tags and putting up new ones. I was okay until around 4:30 when my ipod batter died and I took a little break. Bad idea-stopping made me realize my head was a little foggy. Jake got to spend the night with our long time family friends (first time he has spent the night alone at a non-family members house. But they really are family so I don't know if it counts or not) Sharon and Ron. Sharon is my mom's best friend from high school and I grew up with her children.
I was excited to get home and get in bed for a nap/sleep but couldn't fall asleep. When Aaron got home at 7:00 he gave me tip to read and it would make me fall right to sleep. It didn't...I am at too good a part in Sense and Sensibility to fall asleep! I finally gave up around 8:30 and slept, waking up every 15 minutes until 10:30 and I headed out to get the Jakester. He had a great time with Sharon and Ron building with Lego's, playing Mario Kart, and using this very cool Crayola tracing thing-a-ma-gig from when Sharon's children were kids. But he missed me and gave me about a million hugs and kisses when I got to their house. :)
Fast forward and it is almost 2pm and we have one of Jake's friends from church over until after Cub Scouts tonight. His parents are chaperone's (sp?) at Youth Conference and we planned a couple of months ago to have him over a couple of times while they are gone so he could have a break from his 2 nieces under the age of 3. :) Who knew it would fall on a day following my first time ever working 3rd shift. I am glad I told BiLo I could work 2 days a week for the 3 weeks before going to Vermont (good gas money for the drive) so it could give me a glimpse into the sacrifice Aaron makes for our family 5 nights a week. I told you he rocks. My brain feels oddly empty and I don't feel like eating at all. Maybe I should stay up all night more often. I wouldn't ramble on all the time and I would have to lose some weight by not eating right?
