Well Saturday night was my non-official start date at Meijer. I was only supposed to go in and do all the computer learning things. My boss Dave told me to go take my lunch because after that I was going to go out on the floor and start working. It was ok and I learned a lot. By the time I got done at 5:30a I was really tired.
Tuesday was my 1st official night working and I'm telling ya it was rough. Jeff let me take a nap right after dinner and he woke me up at 9pm so I could get all un-groggy, eat, shower and relax a bit before going in. I again worked until 5:30 and I have to blame Jeff because he didn't have to go to work until 7:30 so as I was talking to him about my night I ended up falling asleep on his stomach because he wouldn't get out of bed...LOL!!! Now the plan is for me to stay awake until 1pm and get Brieanna to take a nap with me so that by 2:30 when the babysitter gets here she can care for Brieanna after her nap and I can continue to sleep until 9pm. Well I feel really horrible because Jeff got up and got ready for work and helped Jeremiah out a bit and then he left. Jeremiah finished getting ready on his own and I got up at 7:55 to take him to school. Bad mommy left Brieanna sleeping in her bed. I ended up going back to sleep and forgot to set an alarm to wake up by 9am because that's the usual time she get's up. Anyway Jeff's friend Mike came over and woke me up at 10:30a because everyone and their dog was calling and Brieanna was the one answering the phone. Brieanna and I laid down at 2p for a nap and I have no idea what went on until Jeff woke me up at 9p again so I could go into work last night.
As of right now I'm still awake and I'm about ready to set my alarm for 9:30a and just take a little nap because I have a ton of errands to run today before we come home for another nap at 2p. The babysitter will be here by 2:30 for just in case Brieanna doesn't stay down very long and I'll still have the sleep I need in order to function. I still feel really bad about staying asleep so long yesterday and took Jeremiah to school and left her here by herself. I'm just glad the round trip from home to school is only 8 minutes. (sigh)








Hi Christina,
I'm so glad you checked in, we missed you!
You are NOT a bad mommy, girl! You are a GOOD mommy doing what is best for your family right now!!! That's soooo commendable and you should be very proud of yourself. Raising a family and working graveyard is AWESOMELY hard to do!
I am proud OF you!
Hang in there and keep the faith!
Hugs,
Keli
God could not be everywhere, so
Thanks Keli,
Those words of warm care & encouragement do help. I'm trying and I'm sure I'll get this new schedule nailed sometime. This is just my 1st week and there are bugs to work out. Besides the fact that I'm working nights I also have and upper respiratory infection and stupid WalGreens didn't have my antibiotics ready until today. Anyway I have a few more posts to get through then it's off to bed again.
