M.I.A.

Oh gosh it's been a LONG time since I've posted, especially since I have no excuse not to! I have an app on my phone for this site and I'm logged in all the time! LOL!

Anyway, today I wanted to share some exciting news for me. :) My grandma offered me the Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday shift at my job and I accepted! Basically I'll be starting that shift next week, so I'm really happy! I can quit the temp service and CK, and even though I won't have as much money, I know I'll be a lot happier.

Honestly, I thought I was good at hiding my misery. As cliche as that sounds, I really did think I was doing a pretty good job hiding it with lies and smiles. But everyone noticed that I was miserable, so when I asked about what I should do with this opportunity, everyone was like, "TAKE IT!"

I didn't have this in my plans, but maybe this is how my life was meant to go. I wasn't supposed to be waiting for my boyfriend to propose so I could quit CK/the temp service. I wasn't supposed to work 7 days a week over the entire summer. And I wasn't supposed to work the weekend shift at CJP for the rest of my life. I don't really have too much say in my life's journey, I'm just living it and doing the best I can.

The only kink really put in by this new job (even though it's the same job, new days) is the family reunion. Oh, I was terrified once I thought about what I had done with the decision I made! Who was going to work for me? What day would I need that person to work for me? Am I even going to be able to go? How is this fair? Luckily, I called my mom and she happened to be at my grandma's house, so I talked with both of them and my grandma and I worked out a schedule that works me 16 days/nights at CJP, but gets me this reunion/vacation. Not complaining at all... I just really hope the new hire agrees to the plan as well.

My boyfriend is happy about it too! I asked his advice and he said right away that I should take this new offer at CJP. He even said he'd help me out with money if I needed it, which I'm not gonna lie, brought a tear to my eye. That was so sweet, and he didn't even hesitate when he said it. I love that guy! ;)

So that's what's been happening. Working 7 days a week will no longer be an excuse of mine to not clean and do dishes. Lordy, my house is a mess!
