So, my husband works the graveyard shift.. And while I LOVE the fact that he has a job, and right now it's the only thing keeping us financially afloat, I hate his hours. Why, you ask? I'll tell you..
He usually leaves around 830pm-ish. And, depending on the site that he's working at, he doesn't get home until 530am~730am. Which means, I'm here, all night, by myself. And being a newlywed, and the fact that I'd like to sleep next to my husband, it really sucks. Along with that, I've found that when wives complain about their husbands being gone for a weekend, or even a week, and aren't able to sleep next to them for those nights, I have no sympathy. At. All. Because that is what I deal with almost every. Stinkin. Night. I will say though, that I'm trying to work on that. Because, I know in these instances if anyone knows what they're going through, I do.
Aside from being home alone at night, I'm pretty much alone during the day too. Because that's when he's sleeping. I'm lucky if he wakes up before 4pm. So, yes, I do get to have my husband home all day with me.. But he's not here with me, because he's sleeping. Given this situation, I REALLY cannot wait until I start work. Because it will give me something to distract myself from the fact that, if I'm really lucky, I get to see my husband for 4 hours a day.
I'm sorry to gripe and moan, but it's just something that I've been starting to hate these past couple of weeks, and I needed to vent. :) And I would just like to say, that I know that there are wives/husbands who have it SO much worse than I do. Some do not get to see their spouses for MONTHS at a time. I seriously don't know what I would do if I were in that position. I definitely want to thank all of those military wives and husbands. Because I know that without their sacrifices this country wouldn't be what it is today.
