Busy...

It seems like the first weeks of school are always hectic. There's getting back into the routine of things, football practices, homework, etc. Well, this year just seems more hectic! Jerrad is up at 5:45 (this is AM folks!) and getting ready. He walks out the door at 6:40! I wake Jacob up at 7:00 and he is out the door at 7:25 (he started riding the bus this morning! I love the bus!) This is making time for me to get in 2 miles of walking (see post about New Friend!) before having to get ready. I've been spending my days doing PTA stuff, copying in the workroom, running errands and HOMEWORK! That's right...I said homework. Towards the end of July I applied for a job with this company called Alpine Access. Its a work from home deal. I only did it cause it came on the recommendation of someone that worked for them and said it was great. Well, she also still has friends and connections there and happened to let the recruiter know I was applying. Needless to say things moved pretty fast. Short story is I got the job. I will be answering phones at home using my phone/computer (complicated explanation but awesome how this all works!). I am on the GECF (General Electric Consumer Finance) account...credit cards...store specific to the GAP. There is lots to learn! So, of course there is training. Just so happens training is Monday through Friday from 7:00 to 11:00 PM. This is where we've gotten real busy. Steve is having to help get the boys picked up from different places in the evenings. He is having to attend all the beginning of the year functions that fall at night! I hate that I'm not the one taking the boys to every single thing! I know Steve is so tired after working his long days! This week has been bad too and then he's had to drive all over creation! I love him for helping me right now so I can get this training behind me and start work (training ends Oct. 2nd)! He has had to pick Jake up from football practices! Today he had to drive to Irving after work to get Jerrad (he started a bible study tonight with the teens). We've got upcoming football stuff (games/weigh ins/practices), Jerrad bible study, Martin Open House, Grand Slam Baseball Event at Martin, football pep rally...the list just goes on! Its only my 4th day of training but so far he hasn't complained about helping me! I keep telling him its only temporary til I get to my "flexible" schedule (training is 100% attendance - mandatory!). I'm excited about the job. I hope it all works out and this was a good thing that I did!
