Despite the desire to be done nannying, I was back at work this week. Don't get me wrong, I love the girls I nanny, I'm just totally ready to have a break before I have my own baby! Besides that, working four jobs (nannying, clothing store, teaching violin, quartet gigs) isn't what I call fun. Currently I'm scheduled working all five days during the week....yeah, I know, most people do it! I'm just not the type of person who loves homemaking when I work every day. Luckily I only have the nanny job until the end of January. Then I work four days a week, but they're shorter shifts, and only a 10-minute walk from home!
I know that technically school isn't "work," but pmc was back at it this week as well! He had a good 4-day week of classes (with Fridays off!). So now with work and school again he's got a load.
The other thing is, like we said, we changed our minds about moving. So in order to make things work here in this apartment, we did some rearranging. Somehow we added an entertainment center (which pmc built for us) and an extra bookshelf, and still found an arrangement that opens up our space a little more.
Last year we got a discount on our rent for painting our apartment, but never finished the baseboards. Well, our rearranging forced us to finally get to that project. We spent yesterday sanding the baseboards (using pmc's new motorized sander), and there was so much dust in the air, we couldn't get very clear pictures! The fun part was that although we spent the entire day cleaning and sanding, we blasted music and really enjoyed ourselves!
Anyway, though it felt like all we did this week was work, we had fun doing so! It always feels good to end the week knowing we accomplished a lot.

Wow, I didn't realize you guys were so busy with jobs and school. I promise one day it will all be worth it. We're just barely hitting that point in our marriage where we can sit back and laugh about our crazy schedules when we first got married. Good luck on the housework, it actually looks like you were having a good time!
