Happy New Year

It's the new year and I was planning on spending the evening's festivities at home with the mrs. medic. But, I went to work. Working a holiday...again. I have y reasons. Money. Nothing more than that. Simply wanting to put some extra money on my check. I'm know the wife would rather have me home. But the plain fact is that I lost around 10,000 dollars in OT this past year to go to school. That hurt. Bad. But, I had a chance to make a little of it up. So I left her alone again...I know it hurts her to feel alone, and I fear what the end result of that happening to many times will be. I've read the bloggy things that other people write. I know what could happen. I know she's not happy. I can hear it in her voice when I talk to her. It's resonates loudly over the telephone, I ask what's wrong. Always the same "nothing" reply. But I hear the disappointment, frustration, and anguish. I don't like spending more than half of my time gone. I like the money that it brings, but I don't like being gone. So have I sold my soul to the company, no I'm just greedy. She needs to go to school and start her career that she's been waiting on. I know. She will sooner than later. We had a decent day today I think. Not great, but pretty decent. Now with a new certification coming up for me, and a pay raise to go with it, we can finally get the ball rolling and stuff. More money means less time at work. Yay!! Maybe this year I can stay home more and she came finally start getting her education. I love you Jess!!!
