days go by

Hubby had/has shift today . . . still there.  24 hours for those of you who don’t pay attention to all my posts here in Tuckerville. That’s how long his shift at the firehouse lasts, 24 hours.

Hubby has always always been a work-a-holic, it doesn’t take extreme 26 credit hours at school and a mandatory rotating 24 hour shift to create a whole day or two of not seeing his smiling or half asleep face.  He worked swing shift at a mill and a second job during the day prior to us ‘moving forward’ in life.  He works a lot and he’s a hard worker on top of it . . . not just hanging out for free donuts and coffee.

Today he has been at it since 5am and I’m sitting on this thing at 9:30pm wishing he were here to share the evening hours with.

I married him cuz I liked him  . . .  and loved him . . . but I really liked him; his personality, his wit, his sense of humor that could easily be overlooked because of his quiet nature and his sensitive and caring self. And, yeah, I complain about being isolated, but I miss . . . tonight . . . my hubby.  I’m sure he’s helping some dude in a car accident off Lancaster or helping a beyond morbidly obese person out of their bathroom after getting stuck taking a crap . . . but he’s loving the challenge and the hope of a better future for our family.

Sooooo, I will suck it up . . . trust God, as I’ve spoken of a lot recently, and make the best of it.  And when he is actually here to hang with, watching my attitude so he stays awake for a few extra minutes . . . just to be together.

My thoughts and prayers are with my hubby this evening. God speed!

God Bless!
