What a long week!

I don't know what the deal was this week, but it seemed to drag on and on. I don't know if I have talked about this before with any of you, but besides trying to run an online business, I also have a full time job as an executive casino host for one of the top companies on the Las Vegas strip. After 7 years of service, and finally getting the shift of my dreams (Mon - Fri 6am - 3pm) I have to go back to swing shift (4pm - 1am). I only had the day shift for a few months and I loved it.

When I first started, swing shift was fine, but now my kids are getting older and I realize how much I love getting home when they do. Now I have to go back to the hours I had when I first started. I felt really bad, because when I was informed of this change I got very emotional and my boss didn't know what to do or say. The problem is, with these new hours I will only get to see my family in the mornings and on the weekends. I won't be able to help with homework, I will have to cook dinner before I leave and I wont be able to enjoy dinner with them.

My husband says and I agree, it could be worse I could not have a job at all and I should be grateful (I am) but, will my kids understand? I haven't told them yet, but I plan on it as soon as I find out when the schedule change goes in affect. I guess it will be okay, I've done it before and it worked out fine, I just wish I could have spent a little more time on days.

Thanks for listening,
