Surprisingly Okay Day

Well today I went to work.
Normally when I go to work, I don't have good days. I'd like to say that I enjoy my job, but I've worked there too long and it's starting to rub off on me in a bad way.
For those of you who don't know, I work at an old folks home.
Don't get me wrong, the work that I do is very fulfilling, but when it comes down to it.. I'd rather not be there.
Today was surprisingly different. I went to work, went through my normal routine, but at the end of the day I didn't feel nearly as worn down or ready to leave.
Maybe the people were acting different, maybe the day flowed smoother, maybe I was just overall in a great mood, but whatever it was...
.....Thank you.
I think we all need those days when we can just go home from work and not look back on the day with a tiresome heart.
I keep hoping that I can quit my job and finish my school while raising our child, but I haven't been able to bring myself to put in my two weeks notice.
We had decided that I could do it on November 9th, but my boss just asked me if I would like to work nights.
This wouldn't be appealing normally, but Scotty is going to be working nights in a couple of weeks, for the next several months.
The thought of going to sleep without him makes me sad.
Yes, I would get over it.....
.....But it would be kind of nice to work the night shift because I'd be able to have the same schedule with my husband, continue to work and get an income, and not have to put as much work into my job as I do now (which is ideal when pregnant).
The downfalls are the fact that I probably wouldn't be able to stay awake all night, it would probably make me sick (ill and nauseous), and I would never have the motivation to get my homework done.
I have such a hard time with homework now. I can't find the time, the motivation, or any hint of a drive to get it done.
Maybe I should stick with putting my two weeks notice in on November 9th.
If we really needed more income, I could find something to do right?
Decisions, decisions. At least I still have 2 1/2 weeks to decide!

*On another note*
My cousin took Scotty hunting today and Scotty ended up getting his first deer!
He was so excited.
Now we'll have to decide what to do with the meat...
I'm thinking jerky and pepperoni.. Yumm... :)

Scotty's first deer! :)
