Changes...

where to begin?

I am NOT a big fan of changes.. especially when it comes to work and my time with Adam and the boys..

Guess I'll start at the beginning...

The last 3 years we've been extremely lucky.  Adam and I have been able to have pretty much opposite schedules.  He would work 7 am to 3:30 pm and I'd work 7:30 pm to 1:30 am.   Perfect right?  I would have about 3 hrs with him before I had to work!  

With Adam's work, there has been changes too.  There was a new Warehouse Manager who came from the Lehi Costco.  He does things a little different.  Really, he does things the way its supposed to happen.  The way things happen with supervisors,  they are supposed to switch around every once in a while.. like every Fiscal year?   Well Adam, he's been supervisor of the Deli for THREE years!  yeah.. we've been lucky!  

So the switch happened July 30th.  He is now a Front End Supervisor.  Ya know the ones with the red vests? (hehe) Yep that's Adam now, along with 8 others.  

Now the part I am NOT a fan of. :) 

Since he is working on the Front End, they usually don't work at 7 am since Costco doesn't open til 10 am! So.. The schedules don't start until 9:30 at the earliest!  Which on an 8 hr shift is til 6 -which would work. BUT he has to CLOSE two nights a week as well. So his shifts are like 9:30-6, 10-6:30, 10:30-7, 1:30-10 (closing).  AND he probably won't be closing on weekends (which is til 7 since Costco closes at 6:30 on weekends).  

So my schedule is now 8-2am. Only a half hour later but it sucks big time.  And I probably will have to work weekends since Adam's closing shifts will probably be during the week.  Oh and his schedule won't be consistent EVERY week.. So I have to figure out his schedule and then fill out a paper every week saying what days I would like to work. Blah! Not fun! and a bit frustrating.. oh well :)

The only good things that come from this are I can't pretour (getting out of my shift for the night) because those are only available for people who work til 1:30 am or earlier.  So I guess that's a good thing I'll get hours every night!  maybe? I've enjoyed having only worked 2 nights a week... Killed the paycheck... but it was nice being home.

But in the words of Dave Ramsey...

I have the quote running through my head all the time, to get me through work and to get me through cooking dinner. 

I have to make sure this doesn't come off as complaining.. cause really I am so grateful for my job and the opportunity to help with our income and to get our debt down! And as soon as we can live comfortably within Adam's check we will! I just don't want to quit (which I've thought about almost every night) and feel hopeless and scrap by when I can do my part now so later I can reap the benefits of being JUST a stay at home mom :)
