No More Night Float!

And I could not be happier. Last night was Mike's last night on night float. Hopefully for the rest of residency. It's been a long 4 weeks. It may be an adjustment having to share a bed again though. I got used to having it all to myself. :) I even got to the point where I was not freaked out being home alone with the kids at night. Yes, I still checked, double checked, and sometimes triple checked the doors to make sure they were locked and bolted, and slept with several lights on, but I didn't feel that normal uneasiness of not having him home at night, and I actually didn't sleep with a weapon under my pillow. :-D

I am looking forward to getting more sleep at night on the weekends. Although he had Friday and Saturday nights off, he still stayed up pretty late and slept half the day so he didn't get off his schedule and have to readjust every Sunday night. Him being up half the night made it difficult for me to sleep. It was just to tempting to stay up and spend time with him since I never see him during the week for more than 10 or 15 minutes each day. It will also be nice not to have to constantly remind the kids to be quiet so daddy can sleep during the day. It will be nice to save on power and turn the lights off at night, and it will be nice to eat dinner as a whole family again. :) So, YAY for life returning to "normal". Just in time to start school next week. Jacob is starting kindergarten and we are homeschooling, but that is for another post. :-D

Cheers!!
