catch up

It was a good weekend around here.  Ryan went on one of this quarterly crazy cleaning binges, so Isaac and I really had no choice but to get on board.  Except for our bathroom, the entire house is clean, vacuumed, organized, and tidy.  It's a nice way to start off my first *official* week at school (which begins tomorrow).  Ryan also starts his first day at his new job today, so it just feels like a nice fresh start for all of us.  Isaac doesn't start until next week though.  So he is getting some good grandma time in this week.

I have been debating quite a bit about how long to keep on with my mall job.  Some days I feel like I need to immediately put in my two weeks and then other times I feel like I could do it a bit longer.  I like the people I work with.  It's a relatively easy and mindless job.  The little bit of extra cash is provides is nice (although probably mostly eaten up by the gas/food it takes to sustain working at the second job) but the discount is a really nice perk, especially with back to school and the holidays approaching.  The month of August ,despite my wide open availability they had only put me on for one or two shifts a week, which felt doable going into the school year.  However, I am not even hugely pregnant but I am starting to be really tired at the end of my shifts, just from being on my feet the whole time, so I'm not sure I can go back to working all day at school and then closing at night as I continue to grow and expand.  Then last week the schedule email suddenly had me closing four nights this week, my first week back at school.  Which, that can't happen.  September is always my insane month and I would like to see my family once in a while.  So I don't know. Opinions are welcome.

In other news, how adorable is my sister in law Deb?

 She is due the day after me and just had her big ultrasound.  Deb and Patrick are having a....... BOY!  So it will be one of each come late December for the Horne family.  I'm so excited and wish that they lived closer.

Pregnancy brain continues to strike.  This weekend alone I left my phone at the grocery store and then picked Isaac up a half an hour late from his dad's (which didn't make his dad particularly happy). It is starting to become a bad joke that I will inevitably drive Isaac to the wrong soccer field for practice.  I am starting to feel like I have early onset Alzhiemer's.  It's scary.  If I don't put it in my phone with a reminder alert I just don't remember it correctly or at all.

Happy Monday all!
