Long midnights...

Have I ever mentioned that I really don't like it at all when Ryan has to work midnights? As many of you know, Ryan works swing shift so every week he works something different which makes it a little hard to adjust.

This evening he is working the midnight shift so the past few hours went a little like this:

1. Ryan trying to play with the kids and spend time with me.
2. Ryan going outside to mow the lawn.
3. Me rushing around trying to pick the house up a little.
4. Me getting things set out and ready to cook for supper.
5. Ryan coming in and spending more time with me and the kids.
6. Ryan taking a hurried shower.
7. Me cooking spaghetti and juggling the two kids around.
8. It's getting late so we sit down for a rushed supper.
9. Ryan running out the door for work at 6:00 pm.
10. Ty and I standing on the back deck waving him off and feeling sad that he's gone.
11. Ryan yelling to us from the truck to tell us that he'll call home soon to talk to us.
12. Ty and I heading back inside to finish up supper, clean up, wind down or wind up for me.
13. Put the kids to bed after a long evening with them by myself.
14. Sit up late missing Ryan and hating to go to bed by myself.
15. Still sitting up until I wear myself out to where I fall in bed and pass out.

That's just about how it goes every time he's on midnights. He'll get back home 7:15am. Until then, we'll be here missing him.

Macie's 1st birthday is fast approaching. Mommy is not to certain on how she feels about her little baby girl growing up so fast. Ryan and I both noticed how much she had grown today. She's getting so tall.

Ty will probably get spoiled ridiculously tonight since Ryan is gone. I will more than likely be guilty of letting him stay up way too late and then rock in the chair with me till he falls asleep. :)

Depending on how this evening goes, I may possibly be back on here LATE this evening since I'll be here with fifty thousand other things to do, but not wanting to do any of them. :)
