After last week being such a long work week for all of us, we were so excited for his 4day. Our oldest had homecoming on Saturday so that day went super fast. There’s day 1 right? lol Then yesterday they had a general alarm and of course one of the guys at the station he went to cover went on the transport. So he stayed at the station until the guy got back over an hour after the general alarm went off, so the station could still go on calls. Totally understandable, but that was about 4 hours total and the evening at that.

Today we did yard work and I worked. Tomorrow he’s off fishing for a few hours and then will be more yard work. Then I can’t believe it’s already time for work again. WOW! I remember when he was first hired and 4days was incredibly long. Now it just flies by.

Yes, I know I’m spoiled with the amount of time I get him to myself. But darn if I’m not also spoiled because when he’s home he makes dinner and I get to come home from work and eat. I don’t come home at 7 or 8 and wonder just what junk the kids ate when I wasn’t there to tell them NO. Then of course, like every other single-mom I have to still make dinner some nights when I get home so late. I’m doing MUCH better and freezer cooking, but that doesn’t always mean the kids are on board with it. lol

I guess lately I’ve just been extra mushy. Our relationship is just so good right now. When I spend so much time with him it just makes it that much more difficult to let him go back. lol I’m promising myself to be better. I’m setting up lunch with my girlfriend of almost 30 years this week and one of the other wives for coffee. Believe me, my days are full, but I’d much rather have him sitting next to me to harass while I’m on my laptop and to make fun of things on tv as well.

Hey, life is good and I am in no way complaining. I’ll take each day that is this awesome and treasure it!
