Lets get this party started!!!!

So I got my weekend schedule back and I will be saving over $300/mo to work less and stay home more....go figure!!! I am losing $300 a paycheck to the cut hours ( I will work 64 instead of 80) but I will no longer have a daycare bill of $460 every two week. So that alone is 320/mo saved plus the gas that I am not using since I will only drive to work 2 days instead of 5. So financially this works out great.
It will be tough to not have any weekends off again in the summer but it sure is going to be great to take the kids to PA any week we want for the whole summer. I am going to pack 4 outfits for each of them and leave them there for the summer so I won't have to pack for them. I already leave the make up, deodorant, hair products there year round for myself. Getting up Monday mornings should be pretty simple, just pack our medicines, my clothes and their videos and games and off we go.
They are going to love the fishing and exploring, the finding and showing of all stinky thing boys find in the woods, going to GGs house and exploring the farm with the dogs, picking berries and flowers.... Ah they will have such great childhood memories of PA.
When we don't go to PA, they are looking forward to going back to the gym daycare, the park down the road, they want to ride their bikes and scooters, play in our own back yard and swing on our tree swing, and dig in our yard in the sandbox, and play in the sprinklers. and, and, and, the list goes on and on.
I am concidering hiring a maid service to get me off to an easy start in side the house. I feel like it would be less daunting to keep it clean than to get it clean, but we will see, I would love to hire someone to come and clean out all the weeds and freshen up our planting beds too but that could get costly, but I am getting a bit of a late start as the weeds are already taking over, but the kids will have daycare the rest of this week, and I will pick up and 8 hour shift tomorrow, but on thursday and friday I can kick it into over drive and try to ge the cleaning and weeding done. I just don't want to feel like I worked my ass off for two days and worked that extra shift then STILL did those two terrible doubles, maybe I am a big baby but I want to relax!!!! I guess I will relax at moms house next week!!! This is getting long and I do have a shift to work tomorrow ( oh why did I agree to that?!!!) I will try to post at least once a week, now since I should have some time.....
