I am not well rested after working 11 hours last night.  I am just going through the motions of tending to the girls... diaper changes, breakfast, sippy cups...   my body is on overtime.  I told my lazy husband that the house will be a mess when he gets home because I am giving him a taste of his own medicine.  He can't seem to lift a finger while I am at work so I am not going to do a darn thing while he is at work.  Not like I am even up to it if I wasn't trying to prove a point. 

I kept my mind off of it at work last  night by pretty much reading all of DEAR JOHN by Nicholas Sparks.  I love his books.  I have 30 pages to go so after this I am curling up on the couch while the babies play and completing it.   I love the feeling I get after finishing a book, almost regret that it is over, but a hunger to start another.  I love putting myself into the characters, giving  them faces, voices...  my little escape! 

My husband assured me that he is making an appointment for the two of us to speak with the recruiter.  But I know how they sugar coat alot of what they say, been there done that!  But I suppose it is different now because he is already a SGT and not a new recruit.   From what I read he wil maintain the rank he achieved in the USMC.  I would hate to go active if we were put at a lower pay grade... when we first were married it was hard to pay bills and eat on what little the military gives you.  So knowing we are making a huge finacial change by him doing this I am working 50-55 hours a week all third shift.  I need to make money to pad our savings, and prep the house for sale.  

I am hoping to get motivated to do a little something physical, but if I don't it won't beat me up.  I am tired, you can only do so much.  I woke up yesterday at 7am and won't sleep until after 8am Saturday morning.  I am probably not even getting dressed today!  Pajama day!  blah!
