the night shift

So once upon a time all of my cool friends were making blogs. So I thought "hmmm that's cool, but I have no time for that." But I finally figured how I am going to have time to have one!! The nights I don't work night shift I can't sleep anyways, so I might as well make a blog, who cares if it's after three in the morning? (its 3:36 am right now, just for the record) Which brings us to the title of my blog "sunshine for the nighttime" I asked Lauren what I should name my blog and she said "make it something about being happy or sunshine, because you are always happy" So this is what we came up with and this is my story:

     I am 18 years old, for the summer I working two full-time jobs as a CNA (most of the time at night), I babysit for a family of five 2-4 times a week, I tutor a 4th grader twice a week, I have three church callings, and somewhere in between all of that I find time to sleep. And how exactly do I accomplish all of this without dying or passing out? Lots of Diet Dr. Pepper, amazing roommates that bring me my soda and keep quiet while I sleep during the day, more Diet Dr. Pepper, and lots of random naps, in random places in my apartment, at random times all throughout the day. 

   For those who have never worked a night shift before this is how it goes:

6pm-go to work

10pm-take a 15minute break (soda refill)

2am-30 minute "lunch" break (another refill)

6am-clock out and go home

6:15am-shower and get ready for bed

7am-climb in bed and set alarm for noon so I can be back at work at 2

9am-garbage truck come to empty dumpster which happen to be 20 feet from my window...waking me up

10am-maintenance knock and announces they will be coming in.....waking me up

10:15am-they go out and get something they forgot and re-announce entrance, 3 times.....waking me up 

10:45am-cleaning lady comes for new move in and starts vacuuming away...waking me up

11am-my wonderful mother calls

11:05am-work calls asking me to pick up a night shift, making it a double....waking me up

11:15am-owner of apartments comes in to decide where he wants to hang new pictures...waking me up

1pm-I wake up and get ready for work

2pm-Soda refill then back to work for 16 hours and I won't get off until 6am with at least 4 refills in between.

       Total hours of sleep: 3 1/2
