Two ships passing through

So, I'm sitting here at home and it's 11:53pm on Wednesday night. I have to say that I do not envy single moms and find that I respect them more that I thought. I say this because I sit here at home waiting for my husband to come home from work. See, my husband works for the House of Blues of Myrtle Beach and tends to long hours. Our schedules are so opposite (hence the felling of being a single mom) he works at night and I work during the day. I know that he really doesn't care for this schedule either. He doesn't get to spend much time with the baby and when he does, he's usually tired because he came home at 2am and the baby is up by about 8:30am.

If you were to peek into our life you'd see two ships passing through the night or day, depending on the ship that you're following. This seems to be a pattern for us. There was a point in our life when we we both home by 6pm and got to spend the evenings together. That was an awesome time! I got the opportunity to have dinner ready for him and I also tried to do other things as well. I LOVED IT!! Now, I'm lucky if he eats the dinner that I leave in the microwave for him. I know that this is a season and God has a plan for us and doesn't want us to not have time for each other and family time.

About 2 and 3 weeks ago we some great family time. One weekend we took a Ferry from Southport to Fort Fisher and we went to the Fort Fisher aquarium. The ferry trip was so cool. Then the week after we went to the Ripley's aquarium. It's awesome to have a Blues Brother partner. We got a free ticket. Anyway, I would love to see us have the ability to spend more time together as a family.

Well, it's about 12:30 am and I just nodded off for a short nap. I'm off to bed. Sorry that this a little random.

Cherish time with your loved ones. Treasure the moments with your children.
