Adjusting to being busy again...

We're home from our vacation (which was totally amazing and post-worthy, but I'm lazy so check out the pics on FB!)... and it's back work for both of us.

Tuesday was the hubby's first day back to the fire station in a month, meaning it was my first night sleeping alone in a month. I HATE the first day. I slept terribly, woke up grouchy and was not very pleasant at work all day Wednesday as a result. Which meant I wasn't the most pleasant wife when I got home from work either. And he was tired and grouchy too, from being up all night on Tuesday.

We're definitely not a pile of fun at the beginning of a new cycle of work.

Okay so now he's got one more shift (tomorrow) in this cycle. Except from now until the beginning of May he's going to be teaching the fire academy classes at the college every Tuesday/Thursday night (if he's off duty) and all day every off-duty Saturday. I was suddenly struck with the realization that for the next almost two months, we aren't going to see each other much at all. The extra funds in the bank account will be nice, but I'm telling you .... it gets a little lonely.

Today I'm exhausted. I didn't sleep well (alone) again last night. The cats were all up in my business all night and when that 6am alarm goes off it's no fun. But exhaustion or not, it's Friday night and I'm going to try to have a nice romantic evening with the hubby. Unless we fall asleep again at 10pm on the couch.

Hope everyone's doing well!
