Yes folks you read that right. My poor husband is on a 120 hour shift. That means he will not be home for yep 120 hours- he will spend 5 straight days running calls and maintaining a firehouse schedule.
What does this mean for our house… Well it means deep cleaning and reading of course. We are about halfway done with this shift. All three kids are battling colds so they have stayed home from sports this week but other than that our regularly scheduled madness lives on.
Homeschooling all three kids by myself because Daddy is not home to help. Ran errands today: five stores including two weeks of grocery shopping completed. Deep cleaning the kitchen: stove has been cleaned, fan above scrubbed, fridge and freezer cleaned out, washed fridge, washed floors, washed the walls, dusted, cleaned the windows, cleaned the blinds, reorganized the cabinets and countertops, and cleaned light fixtures. Tomorrow we tackle deep cleaning the living room, two birthday parties, and dinner with the firehouse family.
I am exhausted. Sunday will be our day of rest… It is much needed.
