House For Rent - Must Move....

What a busy day I've had today. First, I woke up not feeling refreshed due being woken up by a teething six month old several times during the night. Aside from starting my morning tired I had a very productive day. By 12pm I had managed to clean my home, meet with both a real estate agent and Health insurance broker. Happy to report health insurance paper work is done, and our lovely home is now officially up for rent. We decided to rent vs selling because this economy is terrible and no one will pay what the home is truly worth. On that note our asking monthly payment is 3100.00 per month this would cover expenses such as monthly mortgage - taxes and property insurance. My hope is to have this house rented in no more than three months from the list date otherwise my stay in IL will be longer than anticipated. My husband is planning on leaving this weekend back to Colorado. I feel more at ease knowing I can be with the kids full time, and not worry about working. I feel sad leaving my work, but this is all for the greater good. Wishing for good energy in the next several months.

New Shift.

My new shift started this week, so far I have survived staying awake past 8:30 Pm. That in its self is a huge accomplishment. I say this because I am truly a morning person by that I mean 3:30 am wake up time to hit the gym and may I add no alarm clock needed! Yes, I am an early bird (coo coo bird I might add) and I truly love it! All was great until this past Monday when the screws in my head came loose and decided to work evenings. I am now a night owl not by personal choice but more by family demand. Daycare is ridiculously expensive and this is the smart choice for our family to save money, spend time with the kids, and still have health benefits. With all that said the first forty eight hours I felt like I was in a fog and out of my element. Today I felt tired but definitely out of that foggy state I was in. What are the positive and negative things that can come from this change. First I will start with the negative things and there is one big one that has me worried. My husband and I will not see each other much during the week. He will be leaving our home by 7am and back by 4:25 Pm so I can be at work by 5PM. I will miss our dinners together for sure. Now, the good news about my schedule change is that I get to be with my son Gavin and daughter Alaina. Other positives are that my house is clean; also my laundry room never looked more spacious. I just hope that we made the right choice for our family and that positive things will follow because of it.
