Do you suppose that I am the only one who straightens and faces a store's display when I'm stuck in line behind someone at the register who is taking forever??
I've noticed that when I'm distracted by something, I can be as patient a sleeping baby
When I'm not...well, let's just say that I'm not the most patient person in the world
Normally I have Hubby to distract me, but we were in a hurry and so he stayed in the car
I noticed myself getting impatient so I started looking around, trying to distract myself
And then my hand just automatically gravitated towards their display of hand soap that was right next to me
I didn't get to finish because they finished shortly after I started, which annoyed me, but at least it looked better than it did when I started
They should have paid me

We have some exciting news in the Muckleroy house
They told Hubby they were getting rid of his shift the beginning of June
Mostly both of the companies are making pretty dumb decisions (in my opinion) and instead of hiring and training more people, they are just getting rid of his shift all together
So the branch in Florida will be the only night shift...lucky them, they're going to have a huge work load
So last week...on Tuesday, I think, he was told that he would be starting his new shift the very next week!!
He got to change 1 weeksish early!!
And then he emailed them back, telling his boss that the typical 1st shift schedule (5:30-2:00) wouldn't work for us because we only have one car and I would have no way to get to work
The response he got?
No problem, work 8:30-5:00
Saweet!!
That means we pretty much have the same schedule, I just start at 8:00 instead
SOOO nice
He asked (well, really told) them if he could have Monday off so he could have one more day to adjust to the change in schedule
They were understanding about it and obviously said yes, but the awesome thing about that is he got paid holiday because of Memorial Day
So he won't have to use his sick days, and his paycheck won't take a hit
I'm a big fan of that
We also just bought a new fridge
Which we are BOTH a big fan of
I'll post a picture of it..next time
It's a nice fridge
We're not sure what to do with all of the room we suddenly have
It's like going from a one bedroom apartment with 8 kids to a 6 bedroom house with 2 kids
Pretty much epicly amazing
So, life is good
We have a new fridge, Hubby has a new schedule...the only thing I can ask for is a day off
Which will be coming soon, I hope
Now if anyone wants to send us some care packages so we can fill our fridge, we would totally let you
And our fridge would love you forever
Hubby and I are going to go to bed now
Together
For the third night in a row!!
Just awesome

That is so awesome Amanda. I am so happy for you both. Enjoy your new found schedule.
Take care and God Bless!!
I'm glad to hear so many great things are happening for you both :)
Congrats on the much better work arrangement for hubby and of course the new fridge. Weve had a fridge with no handle for over 6 months now because my landlord isn't the greatest.
That's a lot of good news. Congrats on the work schedule situation, new fridge, going to bed together, and a good start with redesigning the soap display. They're probably waiting for you to come back to finish the job.

I'm sending a Jell-o snack pack of pudding to put in your fridge for when I come over for dinner parties and charades.
So glad you are on the same shift! Yay! Congrats on the new fridge!
A new schedule and a new fridge all in the same week. That is just too exciting for words.
