8 Glorious Days

Well, I return to work tomorrow after 8 glorious days off! I was determined NOT to let these eight days go by without feeling like I was productive with them. So, I was able to: clean the backyard, weed, spray for weeds, reorganize all our files from one temporary plastic bin to a file cabinet and file papers that have been accumulating for over a year, clean the house, take down Christmas decorations, watch Rob run a half marathon, make some wire wrap rings...and I think that is about it! I didnt do anything "big" but at least I got some stuff done! I now will be working 6 days in a row, killer! But like always, after a long break going back to work isnt that bad because you can start to feel lazy and nothing like standing on your feet for 12 hours with just a little lunch break to make you feel un-lazy (is that a word...?) again:D

After this 6 day work week (which I know isnt much to complain about...but remember my work days are 12 hours with a 45 minute traffic commute on each end with no breaks) I think I scheduled myself for another 5 days off. Work hard, rest hard! That is my theory for this job. Can't wear myself to thin though. In the same breath, i do need to start working some extras to help pay down the bills and build some money up too since Robs permanent/temporary job is up in April and we don't know where God is leading him next!

Tonight we had our small group and it was good to get together with our small group members again. We are going to start a study on the book "Crazy Love" by Francis Chan. I have heard really positive things about the book so I am looking forward to it. I still need to finish my 10 week study of the book of Esther though...i am horrible about finishing things till the end sometimes!

Well, I am just rambling now because I am trying to kill 20 more minutes till I go to bed. Trying to stay up till midnight so I can sleep in till noon tomorrow and have a good 12 hours of sleep under my belt to switch back to nights.

I have also started another blog. This one is called Amanda's Project 52 and it its a photography blog where I take a photo a week for a year...I think it'll be a great exercise in photography and will be so cool to look back on after the year is over and see what I've captured!
