Nothing poetic today. Just a verbal snap shot of life.
I am sitting here on my computer, having just finished cleaning the oven and listening to some conference talks.
The CA is working in my office, and I am thinking about what I get to do tomorrow to celebrate my mid-week day off. Meanwhile, my husband is taking a nap in our room, even though it's 10:00 pm.
"
These past few days he seems to be making up for the past 3 years of no rest by falling asleep around 7:00 pm, waking up at 10:00, and then back down by 10:30. Oh, but don't fret, the guy deserves every minute of that beautiful sleep. Until last week, he never stopped working. Literally....he never stopped working. Up at 6:30 for Marine Corp PT, shower at 8:00, out the door by 8:30. Class, homework, hand in an assignment, class, group work meeting, homework, quiz in class, 20 minutes for lunch, one more class. Work for 5 hours, 30 minutes for dinner if he can make it home by 7:00, stop by the store to pick up milk for his wife (that lucky girl happens to be me) more homework, listening to his wife talk about her day as if it were half as difficult as his, if he's really unlucky she'll then make him play a game of Sequence with him, and then maybe just maybe asleep by 12:00. He has amazed me one long day after another. That has always been Shawn's strength, being diligent, not afraid of working really hard. He does whatever it takes to achieve what he knows is good. Now that the craziness is on hold for a few weeks and he only has two classes and work, he is taking full advantage. This last week it has been a joy to see him literally devour the first book since his mission that he has read just for the pleasure of it.Wonder what book a future Marine Officer chooses to read?
Way to go husband!
