sad

I always get a little sad when that day comes around when my hubs has to go back to work. He usually works 6 nights and has 8 days off. Most of the people I talk to tell me, "I bet you are glad when he goes back to work. 8 days…whoa" Actually, we love being with each other and have a vacation every other week. We enjoy our family time. We love taking naps with Jack in the middle of the day. We go grocery shopping together. We go swimming everyday (unless it rains). We eat every meal together. We live life together. I think when we eventually retire, we won't be that awkward couple that doesn't know what to talk about or what to do. We love playing games together and just relaxing.

This week is different. With our precious daughter's arrival coming soon, my DH wanted to pick up an extra shift here or there. Well, he is working 7 nights on and 8 days off. I get sad (okay, I might shed some tears) and he felt it this time too. Every 6 nights he is on, means that our time with the three of us is getting shorter and shorter. Our routine we have enjoyed the last year will change again. Who knows what the dynamics of having 2 children will be like for our family?!

To add to my sad day, it is supposed to rain a lot today. Did you know that in most movies when there will be or is a sad scene in a movie, IT IS RAINING?? Yep! That is not helping my sadness.

We all have to work and contribute to make money to provide for our families. Our family schedule is different than others and I love/hate it at the same time. I am blessed that I am able to stay home and my DH can live his dream out and has happiness in his line of work.

I am okay with change and embrace it fully. I just have to enjoy our 8 days together and dream up fun things for us to do as a family.

Enjoy your family today, y'all! :)
