New Years Resolution

I have a bad habit, and for new years I have decided to break it. You see I hate going to work. I work 1pm to 10pm so my time with my family is limited. They are in school or work during the day while I am home, and they are home while I am at work. Therefore every time I am offered a day off, I take it. If someone offers to work my shift, I let them. If I have vacation time, I use it. I get to spend more time with Johnny and Bella but all of this of course affects my paycheck.

I dread going to this desk daily but with a baby on the way and all the bills that come with it, I have decided it is not cost effective to take off work at every opportunity given to me. I am going to stay at work unless I have a valid excuse not to be there (your definition of valid and mine most likely differ). I even created what I call a happy space at work, so its kind of like Johnny and Bella are there with me.

Okay, I am not going to lie, its not even close to them being there with me, but it does give me some motivation to stay at work. My schedule changes quarterly so I just hope with the next change I get a little better shift. As for now, it's off to work I go, for the third day in a row. That's right I have worked three days in  row! I don't think I have done that since June!
