~Feel So Bad For Him~

Hey everyone. I hope your having a great day! My day has been good so far. I am feeling so bad for my husband though. He worked from 7pm last night until 8:30am this morning. Plus he worked straight through the day before with only 2 hours of sleep! He is exhausted. =( He is sleeping at the moment and I am not waking him, he can sleep until he's ready to get up. He has to go back to work tonight and do it all over again so he needs to sleep now while he can. Because of my husband's very hard work and all of the babysitting I have been doing we made the $150. The kids leave for Kids Camp on July 9th and get back on the 12th. They are very excited to go! We do have to get things they need to go with them, all of the travel soaps and toothbrushes/toothpaste, 2 towels for each of them, white t-shirts, suitcases, etc... It's a LOT of cost for just a few days but it's worth it for them to have so much fun and learn more about God. =) More hard work to get everything they need now...

That's great that the children will be able to go to the camp. It has meant a lot of work for you both though.

Your husband works so hard, but I'm sure you will both be so happy to give your kids the gift of camp. Packing is always grueling. lol

@DianneN Yes he does, I wish it paid enough for him to get days off sometimes but it doesn't. Yes, they are so excited about going! =)

I hope your husband doesn't become ill from burning the candle at both ends. I understand that you need the money, but I would worry about his health too. So sad when we have to trade off health for money. You are also working long hours. You are up with the children early and don't stop until you are sleeping yourself. I pray that you both remain in good health.

@Elusivebutterfly I hope not either but we do need a roof over our heads so unfortunately he has to work so hard. Yeah, I try hard to be the best mom I can be and also bring some income into the house by babysitting. Thank you! =)

What a guy! Good to hear the kids are able to go to the camp. I have some grand memories of when I went with the church group to summer camp. We went to Yellowstone and I saw my first moose.

Well that is great they get to go due to both your hard work. What kind of construction job is your husband doing now that is taking so much time?

You 2 are both very giving unselfish parents. I'd let him sleep as long as possible too, and hopefully you'll sleep well tonight also.
