24hr shifts

i am actually having a hard time getting this post started. i have no idea why!!



today was one of hubby's 24hr shifts at the hospital. he does one every tues going into thurs. i can schedule around this (except when the van decides to break down 30 min from home, but i blogged about that on my other site already) so it really does not cramp my weekly plans so much. but it is extremely annoying!



let me preface this by stating a 24hr shift is nothing compared to a long deployment, and considering hubby just came from a unit that is currently deployed, i will be thankful for one day a week and one weekend a month without him here.



but it is irritating in that i can't get into a habit or mind set of hubby not being here. and there are times during the day that i catch myself wanting to start supper in a timely manner for him, only to remember that he won't be home for supper. i also don't plan properly for evening entertainment for my children. i don't have something to carry over to bedtime to amuse us all. because when daddy comes home it brightens and breaks up the day. so i miss that and him when he does not come home in the evenings.
