Does anybody else have a tendency to stay up too late and think too much? Everyone else in my house is asleep and here I sit, over-analyzing my life. I guess it comes with the job of being a Mom.
Speaking of jobs, I started a new job (sort of) at the pharmacy. I get to ring up prescriptions instead of OTC stuff. Exciting, eh? I know.......you wish you were me. Eventually I hope to train as a pharmacy tech, but that won't be for a few months. I have really been liking this new thing. I am back in the pharmacy with co-workers instead of in no man's land at the other side of the store, all by my lonesome. It can get pretty crazy back there in the pharmacy with 7 phone lines ringing and 10 customers in the lobby waiting to pick up. But I kind of like it! I like the fast paced work. It's sort of fun, for a job anyway. Probably the novelty will wear off soon, but I am determined to enjoy it while it lasts.
As a result of me being gone for three nights a week, Shawn has decided to learn how to cook. That idea was a little scary to me at first since Shawn's normal idea of cooking is macaroni and cheese. The boxed kind. He says that after a year of me working nights, he is sick and tired of eating macaroni and cheese and other such dinners. So he decided to do something about it. I have to say that I am very pleasantly surprised at how well he is doing. His specialty is chicken fajitas and they are GOOD! Like so good that I look forward to having the leftovers for lunch the next day. He chops, marinates, bakes, broils and whisks like a pro. He even finds his own recipes to try! On the nights that I am home we cook together and I have discovered that I really enjoy that. Yay for us! Who says that after 15 years of marriage, you can't find new things in common? Plus the kids say that they like his pancakes better than mine. I have to admit, that hurts a little. I make mine from scratch and his are just the Krusteaz add water kind. But Shawn is very proud of that compliment from the kids, so he can have it without me whining.
Ok, I'm starting to fall asleep sitting up at the computer, so that means it's time I go read my book in bed for 20 minutes until I literally can't keep my eyes open any more.
nigh nigh everyone...
