Sigh

So I’m getting a small dose of what it is like to be a single parent. In the midst of my excitement I think I forgot to mention that Ray’s new job includes working the night shift. Yep, that’s right he will be working from 6 at night to 6 in the morning, Sunday-Tuesday and every other Wednesday. So, pretty much for those day he will be working and sleeping, with maybe an hour or two of catching up. Sigh. The good news is that it’s probably temporary. He can put in for a shift change in 6 months.

This will be real trying for the both of us. Trying for Ray because he is such a morning person. He has an inner alarm clock like no other. He’s always up at 7, bright eyed, and ready to go. Me on the other hand yea not so much. I’ve always had sleep issues. Part of my issue is I’m scared of the dark. I still sleep with a nightlight (several to be exact) and I have grown to rely on Ray to help me feel safe and secure. Since I met Ray he has really helped me with this issue, in feeling safe and secure enough to fall asleep. Sigh. What am I going to do? Rayce will be all the way on the other side of the house and I will be left alone to sleep in the king size bed alone. Sigh. Ok I’m just freaking myself out LOL! I will be ok we can do this! Thinking happy thoughts. Sunday is his first night. Sigh. LOL!
