I am not a person for change I prefer to know exactly what I am going to expect when it comes to a major part of my life, like my husband and his work. Well as many of you know I have been dealing with him working graveyard shifts and spending more time at church then home I would only get to see him for MAYBE 6 hours a week. my kids got to see him for maybe 7 as they are home longer in the morning than me (well 3 of them are) well anyway he recently had a change, his boss offered him a day shift, well days on monday,tuesday and wednesday he works 6 am to 2 pm and on thursday and friday he works noon to eight pm or eight thirty if he has lunch. either way he is home by 9pm AT THE LATEST and he is awake for the weekends. Also lots and lots and lots of prayer and GUESS WHAT he has stepped down from sound on thursday and wednesday nights, so he is home on thursdays and on wednesdays he can go with me to take the kids to awanas. AND ( I know I know more right?) well I offered to assistant coach my oldest daughters T-Ball team and I talked to him about it a few weeks ago but he didn't seem very happy about it, in fact he was annoyed that I would want to do that. Well I asked him again and he said I guess whatever (for him to do it as well) well the lady called today and I told her YES and gave her shirt sizes (as the assitants get shirts to WHOO HOOO) well he called me right afterwards (so weird) and I tell him and he said, GREAT that is going to be fun for us to do. HE WAS EXCITED ABOUT IT, and hoping that he dosen't miss to much with the later nights on thur and fri (I assured him 2 days out of 7 isn't a big deal) well then he told me is going to work for a few hours tommorrow (he will be off by 2) he said he said he would do it as it is all overtime and he knows I wanted us to be together but he will come straight home. he then said "okay hunny I have to go, I love you (I said I love you to) and then he said well have a great day I'll be home sooner than you know it, I love you bye. " I know that dosen't sound like much as we always tell each other we love on another but for me this seemed like such a huge change, he has been more affectionate and understnding ( I went to bed at 9 pm last night do to a cold) and he didnt' even complain he closed the bedroom door and took care of the house by himself (most of the kids were in bed but still...) he has been more into holding me in bed or giving me a kiss without it HAVING to turn into sex, (not that I mind but sometimes I would just like a hug) I realize I am kind of rambling more so since he has only had the schedule change for 2 whole days but he stepped down from the sound tech job last week and I am just really excited, and I wanted to thank those that supported me when I was just at my wits end with him! :bow: :thumbsup: ;)
