Guy checked in at the ship yesterday. He left around 10:00 & got home about 3:00. I guess Ez. was all out of whack with him being gone. I tried to get her to take a nap all morning & she wouldn't. I finally went ahead & gave her lunch around 11:30 or 12:00 and then tried again. She just finally fell asleep by wearing herself out crying around 1:00. She woke up just before Guy got home. Then she took a nap after supper and we had to wake her up so she wouldn't be up late. She was up til 11:00! But she slept til around 7:30 this morning. Her naps today weren't much better today and she's fighting going to sleep now. Guy's fixing to go to her rescue. Hopefully once he's going back to work every day I can get her back on a decent schedule.
Guy found out a few things about the ship. They have four duty sections & straight rotation – no duty weekends. We've already figured out he's got duty on his birthday and on Mother's Day. They work 7-3 which doesn't sound too bad. He's planning on eating breakfast at the ship but everyone told him he'd better eat at home. He said he'll try it on the ship first, even though lunch wasn't that great. He didn't meet the CO yet – she's the last one he'll see. He brought home a "manual" with the ship's rules & regulations. I don't think there's anything really out of the ordinary. She does sound like she's trying to be tough. I just really dread the next 2 years & 10 months. His first duty day is a week from tomorrow. The first time in a long time that I'll have to get Ez. ready & get to church by myself. What I really dread is being alone overnight and having to take care of Ez. and Chief by myself. Maybe once we all get used to the new routine it'll go easier. I don't know about when he goes on a cruise though.
Guy was going to let me sleep late this morning but I couldn't get back to sleep. I did get a good nap this afternoon though. I put Ez. down for her nap but Guy said she didn't ever go to sleep til I was waking up at 4:00. So I thought she'd go to sleep easily tonight. Guy came in while ago & said he was going to take her back downstairs to let her play. I have a feeling she'll be up late tonight, too. Next week is going to be so rough cause we're all used to having Guy home all day for so long. She hardly wants anything to do with me any more, especially when Guy's around. I wanted her to be close to him but I didn't know it would exclude me more the closer she got to him. I love her so much & it just hurts so much when she'd rather be with him than me.
