Week Is Over

I just have to say that I am glad that this week is over. I have looked forward to 7:00 bedtime every night this week. It has not been difficult, but I have a husband that works shift work and this weeks shift is the one that I dislike the most. He would go to work at about lunch time and return home around 10:00 pm which means that I have the children during that wonderful happy hour just before dinner and then on to bed time. My children are not horrible but I always find this the most challenging time of the day because everyone is tired. (Especially when you get up to go pee 3 times a night LOL) I think that the hardest part is that Darien really misses seeing daddy when he gets home from school. Jamie and Darien get to see each other for only about 30 min. in the morning, and when you have a son that loves his daddy so much he really misses him and has a hard time when he is gone. I am just getting to the point were I can not rough and tumble with the kids anymore and they need to have that. I am thankful for Jamie in that he tries to change out of those shifts because he knows how hard it is on his family but there are times when it can not be help. But that is ok for the next six weeks he will be working a normal job which is Mon. to Fri. home at about 4:00 what bliss that will be. He is preparing to teach the next set of students coming in which is fun but also stressful. I find that he is more stressed teaching than he is doing is normal job which is supposed to be one of the most stressful jobs, but he loves to teach and does a good job at it because they keep asking him. Looking forward to the bliss. LOL
