Work

So, tonight I start work. I got a job working at the local hospital as a nursing assistant. I feel it will give me some recent experience and will be a good way to earn some extra cash. I will work 2 shifts a week.......the only bad thing about the job??? I work from 11 PM to 7 AM. I have arranged my schedule so I will work on Friday and Saturday nights so I will have Jade home to take care of the kids while I sleep. Since I am doing orientation, I have to work tonight, tomorrow, and Tuesday. I am praying hard that I will just have enough stamina to work, be somewhat functional during the day with the kids and make it until 5 PM when Jade gets home and I can crash into my bed. I keep telling myself "YOU CAN DO IT!" I hope I am still saying that when I get home tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM and the kids are screaming for breakfast. Wish me luck!

Good Luck Shannon! Aren't you going to school this fall too? You are going to be a busy woman! I'm taking 12 credits and working part-time this fall as a CNA also. What were we thinking when we got into this field? I can't imagine doing graveyard, I love to sleep and I know you do too! Good luck again!

If we still lived there, I would be desperately trying to figure out a way to help you out! Maybe you can bring the kids over in the morning. Just stick em on a plane, dont worry, I will pick em up. Really though, wish you luck. Overnight work is tough but manageable.
