I am exhausted from a long week of work, which started on Saturday for me ... but so happy I have the next 3 days off!!  I am going to enjoy it because next week I only have 1 day off.  But then I just have one more week of work and we will be leaving for our vacation!  Can't wait!!  It is sooo needed right now.  I am just burnt out on work.  It's time for a break.  Today I was assisting a class at the pool and the lady teaching was playing music that made me feel like I should be at a tropical resort .... on the beach sipping a pina colada (virgin, of course).  Too bad we won't be hitting the beach on our vacation ... but for sure the next time we go on a trip, it will include the beach.

I have tons of things to get done on my days off - I am way behind on cleaning and I started trying to clean out the guest room/future nursery but all I really did was pull a bunch of stuff out into the rest of the house so I am looking forward to getting things organized.  Of course, the usual grocery shopping, bill paying, laundry, etc. all need to be done too.   I also have to complete an online course because my certification for work is about to expire and I need a couple more Continuing Education Credits to re-certify and everything has to be mailed by May 5th.  I will definitely be taking some time for rest too. :)  I can't wait to sleep in tomorrow.  I have not been sleeping well so I am hoping for a good night tonight.  Our room gets sooooo bright in the morning when the sun comes up - I hate that it comes up so early this time of year.  So the other night we covered our window with trash bags - so ghetto but it will work until we can get a black out shade.  And then we put up a curtain to block off our bathroom since there is no door and light comes in through the skylight.  I can't wait for the darkness in the morning - hopefully I don't sleep all day! ;)

Well speaking of sleep I think I am going to lay in bed and put on a movie.  Have a great rest of the week!
