Well Jordan left this morning for yet another shift, this probably should have been his last or maybe second last one but it now looks like we'll be living this life for a little while longer. Obviously the hardest thing about Jordan working out of town is how it affects our family but sometimes I think the hardest thing about deciding to do this for longer is feeling the pressure to explain our choices to everyone.
Now that Jordan is gone the house is once again clean! this always is a bit of an unusual thing because it would make sence that having Jordan home and having that extra set of hands the house would be cleaner with him here but it is a total zoo for pretty much the whole week he's here and quite clean for the three he's gone. It's also back to routine for the kids, they had their normal bath and were all in bed not only at bed time but before bed time! isn't that crazy! They normally get 1-2 baths when Jordan is home. I'm just in awe at this because it sounds so opposite. This is not me saying i like having my husband gone, i want him home and can hardly wait for him being home being our normalcy and he being part of our routine, it's just not our time for that right now. It kind of makes life exciting with all the anticipation me and the kids have when it gets closer to having Jord home, it's kind of like we get a week of holidays every month too which is awesome for us!
Robyn usually has been staying with me and the kids in the weeks that Jord is gone but this time around we're going to see how it works if she only stays here for 1 of 3 weeks. I want her to have more of a chance to be an aunt to my kids and not have her feel like she needs to be always helping to take care of them. I want her to enjoy them more.
