Eventually, it will be 12-7:30 every "week" day, but for now, it's kind of all over the place. Mostly afternoon/evenings though. The biggest change is that my weekends are now Sunday and Monday, instead of Saturday and Sunday.
What you all don't know is that Scot started on a new contract as of three days ago. Pro: his "weekends" are now Sunday and Monday also!! Con: his hours are 2pm - 10:30pm during the week. So basically, he doesn't get home until 11pm-ish most nights.
Can I tell you that I have NO idea what to do with myself right now? Not to sound like a desperate, dependent woman, but this is only day two of having to go the evening alone instead of chatting, cuddling, having vino with my love, like we usually do at night and after work.
This is what I turn to:
I feel like I'm 20 and in college again.
Ughhh how lame does that sound?! I promise I'm not really this.. reliant on him? Usually I'm the one out (class, work, etc), and he's the one home. So it's probably just the initial change of pace that's a bit weird. But.. I feel like I need someone to talk to, and the cats aren't cutting it. (Kidding.) (Sort of.)
On the bright side, I get to blog! And relax. And not be judged for watching Make It or Break It on Netflix.
It makes me miss living by myself every so slightly, heh.
In all reality, it just makes me realize (again) that growing up can be stinky sometimes.
Alas.. happy Friday, all! Have an awesome weekend!!
PS. I'm sorry, no Vlog Friday today :( I never pulled an April Fool's joke. I think I told someone an elephant was in the backyard once.. they didn't fall for it. Boo.

Awwww, I'm so sorry about the sucky schedule! Don't worry about how you sound, you sound just fine. Jen and I are together 24/7 because we choose to be - we have the same jobs, live together and spend our free time together. That's what makes us happy.
The one time I got a different job that I had to work for a few months, I felt the same exact way.
Hang in there! It'll get better!
I totally get this. It feels kind of weird talking about this now, but I guess it applies even more.
I work from home. Alone alllll day. When tax season would roll around Stewart would be working 8am(when he'd leave) till 9:30/10pm at night. So all day was really ALLLLL FREAKIN' DAY. It's hard....and it's not reliance... it's just a different normal. I eventually would get into a nice routine, and then he'd be back on this regular schedule and I'd be like woh woh woh... I started watching this show, you can't watch Discovery! haha
Now... I'm alone alllll day, and alllll night and allll sleep...and that's beyond weird. It's not a reliance, it's a change of normal, and when you love someone you want them to be around as much as possible, so don't feel bad for feeling that way!
Also, you now have your mornings together and that's awesome :)
I'm the same about April fools. My mom once told me that it was a snow day. That was really mean.
Aww that sucks about the work schedules! On the bright side, you do have weekends together now, and if you think about it, most people do not get Mondays off which means that you probably have a dedicated day of just the two of you.
Still, spending nights alone can get very lonely :(
i hear you sister! i travel a TON for work so i'm gone a lot, but when pat travels once in a blue moon, i don't know what to do with myself.
This is my life! Except when I work (which is usually...just not right now...), I work 8-5, and am gone from about 6:30am - 6:00pm, usually. And Josh works random hours, mainly nights, and is now over an hour away from home. So now he gets home after 10, sometimes 11. :( It sucks. And his days off are Sunday (yay!) and Thursday (boo). It works right now, while I'm unemployed...but when I start working again...I will be whining. :(
hope things balance out soon
1) I love that you used # in your title. That makes me smile.
2) What doesn't make me smile is how sad you look in that photo. P delivered pizza when we first started dating and that was a real downer as he'd work 5pm-2:30am a lot. Then he got into sports which would mean all day Saturdays along with working to 10 a few nights a week. While you could get used to it, it was never ideal and it totally sucked getting used to it.
3) If you ever need to chat over a glass of wine and thai food, girl I'm right there with you. (In spirit, or you can come to Florida?)
I totally know how you feel! I just started a new job about 2 months ago and with my insane schedule, the hubs insane schedule and then me working at home on graphic design stuff, I NEVER see him. I call him my phantom roommate- like you know how in college some people get that roommate that is never there, but their stuff moves around every so often so you know they are still alive? Thats how I feel about Charlie! Only I know he is still alive because his dirty clothes keep on piling up. Hope things get better for you!
eep! Changes in work schedules are the worst!Good luck with it! aaand, I
just wanted to let you know I'm doing a swap over at my blog! I'd love if you checked it out!
My husband and I are on totally different schedules too. I work Monday-Friday and he works every single day except Wednesday, which means we never have a full day off together unless I'm on vacation. So I know what you're talking about! But, with time, it does get better. I was so miserable the first few weeks since we'd just gotten married and just moved in together. But it does get better. I've picked up a couple hobbies in the mean time. And it certainly helps if you have some girl friends around! Hope it gets better for you too!
I kind of feel your pain, as my hours are super crazy, especially when we're close to performance time. Poor hubs is alone with Dexter too long. At least you have the same days off!!
YOU ARE AMAZING!!!!! DC UNITED IS HAWWWWTT!!!!! LOL I hope you and hubby to be find some time to squeeze in QT and get used to your new schedule sooner than later. I LOVE THAI TAKEOUT & WINE. I'd be doing the same thing! :P MEEESH YOU friend. xo
Ugh, I totally hear you on the bad hours. Jus is working 7 days a week and if he gets any day off it's Saturday, which I work :( While it's nice to have some alone time I'd rather have a couple of hours and not all day Sunday & Monday :(
Hopefully your schedules match up sooner rather than later!
