"Ohhh Happy Day" (song from the Oprah show)
The countdown until the end of the month has begun in our house. Doug has one more call day until he is done with trauma! This means he won't have to sleep at the hospital every third night well at least for now. Unfortunately, he still has two more months (Nov. & Dec.) but at least he has the first two behind him. Even though I hate when he is gone so much there are a couple of things I will miss him being on this rotation:
1. Laundry (he only wears scrubs--hence no ironing or dress clothes to wash)
2. Doug being home in the middle of the day post call (I can normally run errands if necessary when my boys are asleep)
3. Doug's goofy behavior--he says and does the funniest things when he is sleepy!
Things I won't miss:
1. Having my bed pulled back only on one side when he is gone.
2. Sleep deprived husband.
3. Running the house all by myself (dinner, bathing, bedtime....)
4. The kids complaining when is daddy coming home and why is he always on call??
5. Doug watching the 10pm news to see who is patients are the next day.
6. Doug falling asleep at 9pm on the couch.
7. Missing kids swimmeets. (now they are over)
8. Having to keep the kids quiet in the house during the day so Doug can sleep.
9. Not having a messy bathroom mirror due to Doug brushing his teeth or washing his face. (yes I do miss that--now I can complain about it again.
10. Having the alarm go off at 5am! (6am is a little more duable)
Well you get the picture.
