Hoping for WAS to come home

[JaxFL14]

ETC,
I've just been hanging low and trying not to use this to vent everyday. My W backed out of going on the trip up to MD. Said she is very short on money and has to stay home work. One good thing that happen was about 5 days ago I asked her to pick up the kids early so that I could go get some things done or just have a free second. Since I have ZERO free days without the kids like she does. She said she couldn't cause she was going to Orlando. I strongly voiced that we need to adjust our schedule because as much as they are my world I need a life outside of them. She came back and hour later with " I really want to apologize to you. You are a great dad and I know you get no free time. I will adjust my schedule so that you get 2 free days that your off work". It's kinda a double edge though. I will miss the kids like crazy but I know I need the free time and the 48 straight hours I'm at the fire dept is not a break, it's work. Even if there is a lot of down time. So at least it was a nice gesture to acknowledge my fathering and willing to use her free time to give me some.
Other than that I'm about to leave for camping on Monday and will return on the 16th. The boys will enjoy the time with grandpa and give me a mental break. As for everything else I just trying to take care of myself and stay busy. How have you been ETC?
