7 Quick Takes

I seem to have trouble blogging, I always feel like I have nothing to write that is worth reading {unless it pertains to the Preschool. I've seen this 7 Quick Takes and kinda liked it and thought I would give it a try.

*So, most of you know my hubby is a Police Officer who works on a Special Tac Unit. Well on Dec. 23rd he was involved in a shooting at work. It wasn't his first time pulling his gun, BUT it was his first time using it. I found out when the Chief called me to say that he wanted me to know that there had been a shooting, but that "Mike was fine".

*Mike finally got released to go back to work just this week. He is still on "Light Duty", but I just found out about 20 minutes ago that they are on "High Alert" and will "be late".

*Due to the hours he works I have to be a very "independent wife". I had no idea how much I would miss him once he did go back to work this week. He has been driving me to work everyday, bringing me lunch most days, and then returning to pick me up after work and then of course he was here keeping me company while I cooked dinner, etc... This week I've been lucky if I've seen him before 8/8:30.

*Last Thursday Mike took the Sgt. exam and he found out on Monday that he passed. There is only 2 spots open for a Sgt. and there is about 20 guys hoping for it. But, here's the thing if Mike gets picked he will go back to working midnights/6 wks. on weekends/6 wks. off/he loses his FBI issued phone and car {which means we go back to paying for a cell for him {no biggie}, but we have to buy a new car because we gave mine to Laura to have for college, I drive Mike's truck now but, he will need a car to drive to and from work, he will gain $50/week, but loses all overtime and will be limited to very little off duties {which we also depend on}. We stand to lose more than we will gain, but it is his career and not mine. So, I guess what I'm rambling about is this....I haven't said one negative thing to him about this choice, but is it wrong of me to hope he just stays where he is???

*I was asked by someone this week what I could possibly be doing in the afternoons at the Preschool that would keep me so busy. Do you think it was wrong that I was kinda ticked off?

*I was also recently asked "Is it really that important to have everything just so so at the Preschool and is it really that important to schedule so many activities? Do you think it was wrong that I was really ticked off by that comment?

*Sometimes I really wonder if I should just open my own school...after all I already have a name for it....Miss Ladybug's Cottage.
