Just found out that Mister will be starting his night shift next month. Next month! In fricken AUGUST. WTF? First it was October. Last year they had him starting nights in September. Now August? {rolleyes}
What does that mean? It means him getting on a completely different schedule than the rest of us. It means him being awake at the most ungodly hours of the night while the rest of us sleep. It means him sleeping later. Ugh. It also means him being gone before I get home. It means dinner not always being made. It means the kids and I eating more Cup O’ Noodle soup than I care to think about. It means there goes our sex life! It means not really seeing/spending time together until the weekend. It means me being scared for the first 2 weeks til I get use to being alone.
But on the flip side, it means my house will stay cleaner, longer. It means quiet evenings. Or loud evenings without the guilt and concern of waking him! It means being able to go to the gym at 5:00 a.m. again! It means when he is home, making the most of our time together.
I really hate his job.

Ugh, and that’s another thing, there are ALWAYS fricken PIES in our fridge that time of year! {barf} The first time or two its a treat! But after that I begin threatening him NOT to bring any more pies home! LOL As it is, we’ve got 2 pies sitting in our fridge that I’ll end up giving away or bringing to work before the week is over.

I have bad jokes about the PIEd piper going round in my head now. LOL!
If I had someone bringing home pies like that every week, I’d end up saying…Just strap the mofo’s to my thighs because that is where they end up anyway!
