Please join me as work to make sense of my life as a fire wife. This is his TRUE calling. He was a tremendous elementary school teacher, but this is definitely where he sees himself happy. This is my journey to acceptance and support for my husband's dream job come true. Real, sometimes raw and almost uncensored.
"When you pass through the waters, I will be with you. . . when you walk through the fire, you will not be burned. . .for I am the Lord your God"
I am not sure how it has happened, but every year since 2010, I have done the first day of school solo. The last 3 years, I took all the kids' "stuff" in before school started - because I worked in the building. They hung out in a friend's classroom - it was a no brainer. But now, my FF is on shift AND I have to do it alone - for real this time! I did all of the shopping - including the last minute procrastination pieces today. Tomorrow, sigh...tomorrow. Tears, endless bags of household supplies much needed school supplies, impatient parents...and I am so not up for it. So, tonight we are having frozen pizza and Drumsticks for dinner. The supplies are divided up. The new shoes are patiently waiting in the living room - so I don't have to hunt for one of them in the morning. Lunches are packed. Camera battery is charged. And I am ready - for the first day of school pictures and the tears. My FF promised me breakfast in the AM, he is might have to splurge for a mimosa... Happy Back to School Day!
