Anyone married to an LEO knows that shifts change and schedules change are not uncommon. Well I get a text Tuesday saying the Hubs' schedule is changing....the next day. Yep so my little world of him home every night and every weekend is no more. I was not happy I assure you. We have gone back to the every other weekend 2 on 2 off. This in theory is awesome because he is home during the week and can get things done. It sucks in reality because he will be working odd hours, coming in all hours of the night, and working every other weekend.
This is a common schedule with LEO and it is one we dealt with for the better part of 10 years. It was very easy to fall into the routine of it when we had no choice and knew no different. Now that we have had "normal", well giving it up is going to be rough.
All of it reminds me that all (well most) LEO spouses are in fact married single parents. It makes you appreciate quality time together. It also makes you annoyed, and frustrated and can make you grumpy.
I know adjustment will take a bit of time, for myself and the kids, and the Hubs but I have a feeling it is going to take longer to get adjusted to that than it did the last change which ROCKED!!
