About this Blog

    Hey friends,

           So I quite often have things happen in my life that while they are happening are not at all funny or entertaining but when I look back on them I either laugh at myself or the situation. Often these things happen to be part of the "package" that comes a long with being the wife of a FireFighter. But since my other blog is all things hair I don't think posting a story about something that happened during my day would go with my theme. So here it is my little space to share the laughs, sadness, struggles, and joys that come with being married to a FireFighter.

          My life revolves around my husbands random schedule every other day he works a 24 hour shift until he has worked a total of 4 shifts then he is off for a "four day" or "six day" these are exactly what they sound like. He is off 4 days in a row or 6 day in a row so in short he works a total of ten 24 hour shifts a month. Oh but I should mention its never the same days of the week its a rotation says on/off days are ALWAYS different. Sounds awesome, right!? Well it sure would be if we could stick to that but of course there are over time shifts "mandatory" or "forced" days which are "like it or not you are coming back to work" or if you were already at work "like it or not your not going home this morning like you thought". These days are NOT fun or funny days for any of the family involved. Now, don't get me wrong being married to a firefighter definitely has its perks, and I love my FireFighter with every ounce of my being but I often get (mostly from younger women) "wow your husband is a FireFighter!? How cool!" and I hold back but sometimes want to say "well babe it ain't always a fairytale ;)". Our life is nothing short of an adventure though and I cant wait to share all of our ups and downs with you my friends!

       Somedays, well most days you will be laughing your butt off other days you might sympathizes or totally get where I am coming from and other days I might have you bawling your eyes out. For privacy reasons I will never say where my husband works exactly or use real names but you will always get the full story outside of that! Hope you read and hope you enjoy!
