Friday Confessional

I Confess...

As Summer is winding down I want to be in front of my computer less and less.

I can barely get my work done, I am so over having a computer in my lap.

I Confess...

I will be glad when August is over. Big Daddy has been working 10pm-6am and the shift is killing me.

I HATE sleeping alone so I have been working at night and sleeping when he sleeps during the day.

It's a wonky lifestyle. I miss the sun. My tan is fading FAST!

I Confess...

I have loved having my Mima close by. She has been staying with my parents and we have been able to go over the hill to see her on Big Daddy's days off.

Coco is madly in love with her and the feeling is totally mutual. You can almost see the exploding cartoon hearts over their heads, it's adorable!

This picture makes me laugh. We love Phil's Fish Market in Moss Landing.

Mima saw "Phil the Fisherman" and we asked her to pose for a picture. She did not disappoint, joking that this was her new tall dark and handsome boyfriend. Of course later when we showed her the picture she said she already had a man waiting on her in heaven. Love her.

I Confess...

I am hoping to get my blogging mojo back soon.

I really appreciate Big Daddy taking over the blog last week. It was a much needed and welcome break.

It also made me realize that he has some good stuff to say, so he will be posting now and then. I am hoping to talk him into a weekly post.

I Confess...

I will be hosting a swap soon. Check out the poll on my sidebar.

I figured with Summer ending and kids going back to school it would be a fun time to do it!

Sooo...what are you confessing this week?

I hate that shift too! It used to kill me when my husband worked nights because then it was like I did too! Good luck!

Dee said...

Aww your Mima is adorable!!

Rebecca said...

I would actually love that schedule for myself! For some reason I'm always exhausted during the day and wide awake at night. Hence this 3:00 a.m. link up and comment :)

Your Mima is so precious!!

Date Girl said...

Match works a similar shift, 9pm-630am. I like to stay up as late as I can and sleep in with him too. It definitely messes with my system though, because then some days I have to get up during the day, like for my volunteer shift at the nursery, or if I make plans with friends. So a lot of the time I wander around looking like a zombie because my sleep schedule is all kinds of wonky.

I'm with you on the laptop thing. I can't wait for this weekend and the chance to get out of the house. I've been going a little stir crazy with Match working the past 7 days in a ROW. Ughhhh.

DysFUNctional Mom said...

Your Mima is so cute! I think when I'm a grandmother, I want to be called MiMa.
John works from 5pm - 1:30am Monday - Friday and has for over 2 years now. I hate it!

I know exactly what it feels like to sleep alone. My hubs does the night shift, it sucks! A lot of nights I can't sleep very well. I feel your pain. Mima made me laugh..maybe she should be a guest blogger?? :)
Can't wait to see what kind of swap! Do you have room for new swappers?

Bridget said...

I go to sleep alone most nights and it sucks. It really does.

Love those pictures of your Mima!!

Singedwingangel said...

My hubby worked 3rd shift for the first 6 years of our marriage and I hated it.. with a passion. Now he works first that could and does run into second and occasionally the beginnings of a 3rd.. sighs.
Your memaw has beautiful hair, I hope my hair is that color when I get older. Aww on her comment about her man in heaven too sweet..

Whitney Ellen said...

New follower and Friday Confessor! :)
Your Mima is far too adorable for words.

Kimi said...

I love the the hubs was totally willing to take over the blog for you! You two are adorable.

The night shift would totally kill me too. I am so not a night owl...come midnight I'm like the walking dead.

Crazymamaof6 said...

Jill said...

Love the pics of your Mima!!

Looking forward to hearing more about the Swap. I've never entered one before, maybe this will be my first! :)

Have a great weekend.

Melanie said...

Loved the confessions about Mima. How precious is she?

Tricia said...

Yeah, my husband finishes working night next week, and I am counting down the days. It'll be nice to see each other when we're awake!

VandyJ said...

I'm just a bit jealous that you have your Mima still. She looks wonderful.
Yay for a swap--sign me up!

Annette said...

Aww, your Mima is so cute! Love her smile!

She reminds me of Big Poppa's Nana; always smiling and with lots of love to give!

Looking forward to the swap; never did one before, so I thought I'd try! Hope you have a great weekend! ^_^

Brand new follower and also brand new to Friday Confessional!
I admit, the weekends when my husband is gone, I actually enjoy hogging the bed for a good 20 minutes. Then I miss him. Sleeping in an empty bed is the worst.

I'm with you on the lack of blog-mojo! I totally WANT to blog, but when it comes to actually doing it I've totally been slacking lately. Wish I could talk my hubby into blogging for me! How sweet is that. =)

Miss Angie said...

Aww, you're grandmother is adorable. That's so nice that you've been able to get over to see her. Those pictures are absolutely priceless.

I've been feeling the summer drag on my blogging mojo too. If it werent for days at work that forced me to be in front of the computer, I might not do it... I hardly ever get on the computer at home...

I'm excited for your swap! :)

Breanna said...

Looks like you guys had fun!!

Camie Rae said...

Ug. Sleeping all day, being awake at night?! Ug. And I'm so sad summer's going bye bye...it seems like it just got here! Boo to that! Boo I say!!

Stephy said...

Ahh your Grammy seems so sweet. I love that picture! Totally cracks me up.

The Kooky Queen--Rachel said...

Ugh, that's awful!!! I hate sleeping alone too! I can see why you're so excited for that to end!

dddiva said...

I finally remembered - and wasn't too lazy!

Your Mima is so adorable- I miss my gramma so much.

Have a great week. :D

The Craig Family said...

I love that your Mima said she has her man waiting in heaven. I work with the older population primarily and I think its so sweet when they've been married so long and are still in love. Sweet!

Jolene said...

Your Mima seems to be very special. I can see why you are enjoying your time with her.

I totally understand and agree with the odd/opposite hours of working from your husband. That's our life here too.

I hope you have a great weekend.

Jo Black said...

Hopefully got my linky correct this week! Have a super weekend.

Jo

Meg said...

Our grandma is cooler than other grandmas.

Hope you find your mojo soon!

Lourie said...

I love the picture of your MiMa with Coco it so sweet.

I hated when Rich worked overnight. It sucks. It feels like they are never home! Hang in there.

I have considered (in my mind only) to let Rich post on my blog. But I am very selfish and controlling. You are a better wife than me. ;)

Emmy said...

Love those pictures! And hey even the awesome Mamarzzi is allowed to have a blogging slump or rut- we all do

Corey said...

That shift is the worst. I sleep when he sleeps, and he never fully adjusts to it so he's always crabby.

Good Luck on finding your blogging MoJo.

MiMi said...

Your Mima is adorable!!!
So sweet about her man waiting for her in Heaven.
I miss you.

Amanda said...

Oh my, that shift is ca-razy!

Big Daddy did an awesome job while you took some time for yourself! I agree that he should post more!

Now, a swap is exciting this time of year!
