Wow...this is how ridiculous busy I've been.  Haven't even had time to post.

Went to 2nd shift.  Had to leave home at 4:20pm.  (DH gets home at 4pm.)  Then worked and eventually got back home around 5am.  (On a good day.)  12+ hours sucks.  Granted an hour of that is the drive, but either way.  My feet are killing me.  I'm exhausted.  And I've lost 10lbs in a month.  Amazing what happens when I pick sleeping over eating.....

I basically sleep until about 1pm, get up and go to the grocery store on Mondays, run on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and hang out with the boys on Wednesdays.  Fridays, I sleep until 3:30pm because on Saturday I barely sleep at all.

It's supposed to get better...we go down to 8 hour shifts on Monday.  (Right now, I'm on a voluntary one week layoff.)  Which means I leave at 4:20pm, but should be home by about 3am.  I'm not holding my breath though...my boss is, well, complicated.  Some good guys at work, but a couple douchebags.  I am, of course, the only salaried female on 2nd shift.  So it's me and 7 guys.

Worst of all?  There is no place to go in this company.  I told them I wanted to be an Engineering manager.  They KNEW this.  But their Engineering department?  Essentially non-existent.  Their Engineering department is in charge of Maintenance.  They call them Maintenance Engineers.  I do NOT want to work in Maintenance.  Ever.  They work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day.  I won't do that.  Even with the paid OT.

Best of all though?  We went to the eye doctor last Friday.  For eye exams for 5 of us, glasses for 2 (plus new RayBans for DH because my frame allowance will cover that) was only $300.  That is astonishing.  We've never had eye insurance that did much for us.  The last time I went to the eye doctor (JUST ME), it cost me nearly $500 in glasses and exams.

That reminds me...#1 broke her glasses last week (for the 2nd time in 7 months) but they fixed the old ones for us.  But that was part of the reason we scheduled appointments.  And her eyes?  Holy crap.  She was -1.25 in both eyes last July.  She's already at -2.5 in both eyes.  She's trying to catch me apparently.  (I'm -7.5 in both eyes.)  #2 and #3 don't need glasses yet.

#1 is cutting off her hair for Locks of Love this weekend.  (If we can ever get the damn hairdresser over here...she keeps changing the appointments.  I pay extra so she comes to our house, because it's just not possible for me to take all four kids in somewhere and have it be a success!)

Hmmmmmm.  Can't remember what else I was going to write about.  May be back!
