Back to reality!

It is hard to believe that school starts again tomorrow!! That means no more lazy morning where we don't have to set the alarm clock, get dress right away....that sucks!! I have really enjoyed the break this year and not looking forward to getting up and going in the morning.
Our days are just busy!!
Jay works at Midas in which he gets up at 3am and does not get home until about 7pm. Granted he only works 14 days out of the month, but still makes for a long day when you have to work shift work and work long hours. He is an underground electrian and has been at the Midas location for about a year now. The other 2 1/2 years he work at Lonetree as a control room operator.
Ashlynn goes to kindergarten in the morning so our days start off about 6am and most nights we are not getting home until about 6pm. She has dance two days a week and I hope to get her involved in Girl Scouts here soon. She is a social bug and loves to play with her friends, but in the end loves to be home at night with Jay and I.
On top of being a mom and wife, I sub at the schools here in BM. It took me a couple of years to get my certification after we moved back, but after doing it for a year now, I love it!! Each week is different but most weeks I sub about 3-4 days and then close the scrapbook store. If I am no subbing I work the scrapbook store to give Kat a break on opening.
My sister in law opened a scrapbook store here in mid October, Endless Memories. We have received a lot of complements and hope to involved those of all ages and skill levels. It has been great joy...scrapbooking as a job!! The store keeps me busy with my title as the "manager." Between Kat and I we work it 6 days a week and then other family members help out as they can. If Jay is off, we make sure Ash is home with her dad and not working late with me. My brother and Kat are working on our online site which will be open soon. I will have to keep everyone posted! I am always looking for new ideas, feel free to pass them along to me if you would like to share them!! My email address at the store is jimi@endlessmemeoriesonline.net.
Even with our busy days it is nice to be a family!
