So, I've had a lot of time this summer to be home with Aidan and Jesse and that's been really nice. I've gone back to the normal day/eve/night rotation and I feel more human. When I was on nights, it felt as if my off days were spent catching up on sleep and chores around the house. Now I only do nights every so often to fill my share. Towards the end of August (21st or so), I'm going to "weekend contract" which means that I'll work either Fri-Sun or Sat-Mon depending on what Jesse's school schedule will allow. Right now as it stands, if I work Fridays, then I'll have a babysitter. If I work Mondays, then I'd have to find one. Hmmm...easy choice I guess. LOL!
August 15-21st we're going to Portland, ME to visit Jesse's parents and just get away for awhile. It will be really nice to have a vacation from everything. Then when I get back, I'll start that weekend contract deal. It's not so bad working weekends though because then I can be home with Aidan during the week and spend mommy time with him. I think I'll take him to parks, take him for walks with the dog, and in the winter we'll play in the snow together. I'm really enjoying my time with him lately. He's forming such a cute little personality. I love this age.
Since I'll be getting quite the raise with the contract, we're going to be looking for a house to buy here in the city. We want to be close to our church community, my work, and Jesse's school so the city will be a good location. Right now we're thinking about the 19th Ward, Swillburg if we can find something cheap enough, possibly Southwedge (if we can find something safe enough), or in the area that we live right now Merchants/Browncroft. We really like it over here because of it's location and it's pretty quiet too for the most part. I love it because it's close to the parks and lake/rivers. I wouldn't mind living closer to Lake Ontario but I know it's not really feasible right now. Who knows where we'll end up!
God has really been working on me lately. I've been so angry and depressed lately and I feel that burden lifting. I've kind of got away from spending time with Him and that's probably the cause of most of it...but I've also been really homesick and wishing that we could be back with my side of the family. It's been good for us to be here though and it's been good for Jesse to be back closer to his family. Rochester really is a beautiful place.
