2. I have been SO stressed this week. I started my part time job on Tuesday so I'm definitely not used to working 14 hour days. I get off work at 5 and head straight to my part time job until around 10. I confess that on Tuesday I was laying in bed at midnight eating pasta because I was starving from not having a break. On Tuesday they asked me to come in and work Sunday so I agreed to that and then yesterday they called asking me to work Saturday as well. Saturday is our anniversary so I really wanted that day to spend with Michael but the extra income will help so I need to stop complaining. Last night it just all overwhelmed me. I was exhausted and growing more tired at the thought of having to work 68 hours in one week, but I guess when I get the hang of the new job it won't stress me out as much. I also have a habit of rearranging things when I'm stressed so now our bedroom looks completely different, ha.
3. I am thankful for a long weekend! Although I'm working 2 of the 3 days I'm excited to have Monday off to relax and catch up on things around the house and work on getting bills paid. Michael has it off too thankfully so I'm hoping we can go do something fun for the last "weekend" of Summer. I know according to the calendar we've still got Summer left but I've always associated labor day weekend as the start of Fall.
4. We bought Pax a life jacket the other night and I swear it is the cutest thing watching her swim with it! Pax isn't a huge fan of the water...she'll walk around in it but if she is at a spot where she has to swim she turns around and runs out of the water. My mom found a girl who was selling one and it fit her perfectly so we took her out to the ledges the other night to try it out on her. She was still timid but seemed to be a bit more comfortable with it. Sometimes she would just lay there and float, letting the current move her rather than actually swimming. I'm hoping she gets used to it more so that we can use it a lot next Summer.
