I also work out with a trainer 3x/week so if I have a 5 or 5:30 session, I'm home by 6:30 or 7 at the latest and can still see my husband for a few hours before bed.Jen (AKA Rabbit)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15742830792050815627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7707085413634548852.post-56577002040204776052012-08-22T08:53:35.444-07:002012-08-22T08:53:35.444-07:00We kind of have this now... Chris works Sun-Thurs ...We kind of have this now... Chris works Sun-Thurs and I work Mon-Fri. Our day off when the other is working is our "free day." So for him, Friday; for me, Sunday. Yet, for some reason, he seems to have fun or does chores for his hobbies on those days, while I end up doing laundry, cooking, cleaning, whatever. It's not that he's telling me I have to, I just...do. Kind of like how you end up in Target. I think it's because those things are at the forefront of my mind, whereas he'll see that the floor needs to be vacuumed, but "it's not that bad, it can wait!" We also have hours where we're alone in the house--three days a week, Chris works 9-5, the other two days he works 11-7. I work whenever, lol. So I don't see him as much as I used to, but I can use his late nights to run errands, make nicer dinners, catch up on chores so that the weekends aren't too busy. He uses his late mornings to do yard work or errands. <br /><br />Since Saturday is our only full day together, we try to spend it together, but things come up--the weather will be great for fishing, so I'll tell him to go; my mom will want me to go with her somewhere, so he'll tell me to go. Lately, we've been hanging around at home, getting things done, then going to liturgy at 5pm, followed by dinner out. By the time we get home, it's 8pm and he needs to be up at 7 for work at 9, so we end up just watching TV or hanging out. We are boring, sadly, lol.

We may do something similar when...I love this idea. We may do something similar when I go back to work in September. Hmmm...when I leave it's always to go to Target, and I wander in a sleep-deprived fog trying to remember why I'm there! Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901039640927938545noreply@blogger.com
