Very Hectic

I figured I would take the time tonight - instead of getting ahead on homework :), to update everyone on my new job. Several have asked how it is going and I have not had time to reply. Two weeks ago, I started a new job and my new courses of school work. This was a little bit of an overload for me. One of my courses this block is an algebra course that has put me over my limit, but I am surviving as of now.

Work is going great. Just in the two weeks working at Commerce, I have tons of interesting stories to share. I am absolutely loving the job. Jayce is enjoying his sitters so that is nice as well. One day a week he goes to a house that has a little girl who is two years older than him. The other four days he has one on one attention with a friend of ours.

The biggest adjustment for me was learning to balance my time between work, Jayce, and school. So far, I have worked well over my part-time limit for the simple fact that there are two positions open. This is all great but it is not putting me home until close to 5:00. We immediately eat dinner, play with Jayce, bath and put him to bed. I then have to hop on the computer to work on my homework until 11:00. I do my ultimate best to be in bed by this time as I am up by 6:00 in the mornings.

Most of you know, that my biggest prayer right now is that an opening will come up in six months for me to go full-time. I have to be full-time in a year in order to receive the benefits that I will need this time next year. Please keep praying about that, but a little update: one of my co-workers, whom I really enjoy working with, found out this week that she is pregnant. She will be quitting her job right around the time that I would like to go full-time. I am praying that this will all work out.

Anyways, I had better stop for tonight as I really do have homework I have to get done.
