Saturday Overtime

On Saturday morning I had time with Maryn since Kallie spent the night with GiGi. I had to put in for overtime because financially it was a necessity. When I got the call to go in and knowing I would work the whole 24 hours Maryn, you started crying a sniffy sad cry. You said, "I only get to see Mommy and I never get to see you. I wish you'd get fired! Or retire."

My heart and stomach sank and you brought tears to my eyes. I was already trying to find a way to not put in but this confirmed that I made a mistake and needed to be home. 

I went into work and around 6:00 someone came back and I would go to another station for the night. When the Chief called I asked if I could just go home and he said sure. So I took off and made it home just before bedtime stories. I love you girls so much and hate being away. I will continue to struggle with work, time home and paying the bills.
