I am feeling antsy!
Since we've been back I've had to adjust to a new work schedule. I'm spending the fall working with 3 families, along with anything extra when anyone else calls and I'm available to do it. I really like it because the times are different depending on the day/family. Most of the time it's the same every week but sometimes it'll change a day here or there. The best thing about it is that Chad's schedule can be a variety of 3 shifts and days off every week. Even though it's kind of wacky, it allows us the most time with one another -- even if we both happen to be going to bed at 7 am : )
Tomorrow is a day I have off and Chad is working overnight. This would be the perfect time to take advantage of getting a project done because I can't sleep.... but we've starting packing when we have some time to so we're ready to move on the 10th. My other thought is to continue packing, but I don't know how noisy that is to whoever lives downstairs :S So, I've been killing some time on pinterest and coming up with more projects to do once things are all set up again!
We had very thoughtful wedding guests who kept in mind we'd have to find a way to transport gifts from MT to TX and just gave us gift cards that were much easier to pack. And rather than waiting to shop after moving we hit up Target and Bed Bath and Beyond for a few things we didn't want to miss out on while they were on sale. But we haven't opened any of to use yet. Another reason I'm restless. I can't wait to bust open the new bedding set we put together -- and perhaps paint an accent wall before unpacking too much??
My birthday is coming up too.... the end of September. The boys I watched back in MT have birthdays a few days before mine. They'll be 5 and 3. They and their sister were in our wedding. After we left the 3 year old has been asking if I can come to his birthday party and it breaks my heart to not be there. He wanted to talk to me on the phone the other day, so his dad called me up and we were able to chat. I miss those kids!! I think it was harder to say goodbye to them this time that it was when we moved.
Anyways. My birthday. It's just a few weeks away. I've got my eye on a pair of tall boots. Fingers crossed.
I'm still enjoying the 100 degree heat, but I think it was a little bit cooler this morning. I was picking out something to wear the other day and found myself giving those fall sweaters a yearning look. I love dressing for fall and all the scarves I get to wear. Might not get to see those until Christmas?? Maybe I'll have to plan a trip somewhere cooler before then ; )
I suppose I should find something to do... or check in at pinterest once more before trying to hit the sack!
