This month actually has been a scheduling nightmare in so many ways.  Adding me being sick for 2 weeks and it’s just drug on.  Hubby thought his night drill was next month so it didn’t get put on the calendar.  But it’s tonight.  Shift this week is Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday.  Drill tonight (Monday) is 5-midnight.  Well that means he won’t get home before 1am if they truly go til midnight.  Then he has to be at work by 8am?  I’m not happy about that.

I’m sure it’s multi-shift and probably with other departments as well, but why is it at the beginning of his shift?  Such poor timing.  He’s going to be so tired.

And yes, I’m stuck working it out as a single Mom again.  This is why I’m working my butt off to be working from home exclusively by the time the kids get out of school.  I just can’t do this anymore.  How am I supposed to meet my clients that pay me and really need me and also get my daughter from soccer practice?  I just may need to call my Mom and ask her to help.  I hate to have her come all the way up here, but she certainly will and I just don’t have another answer for it.

So I have to do the family thing alone and miss him as well.  As I worry that he’s not getting enough sleep and having to go to work.  Yes, such is life, but it doesn’t mean I have to like it.  Thankfully I have stuff planned for dinner that is easy to make and can be done ahead of time.  Plus will make a good amount of leftovers so he can take it to work.
