So, the hub comes home last night and talks about his day. For such a long time, we're talking over 10 years, the hubs job has been 90% stress and frustration and 10% good days. He has worked at this company for 16 years.
It gets old.
Very Old.
So, last night he mentions that he got a job offer. My ears perk up...maybe, just maybe he will be HAPPY at work finally...it has good benefits, pays VERY WELL...and he gets 13 weeks a year vacation...
Holy COW.
The catch? It is in Alaska. He would be gone 6-8 weeks and home 2-4. (No, I wouldnt go...I love my job and would not move from the rest of the family)Hmmm...so, we are seriously considering him taking it. We have tried the semi-traditional life for the past 18 years...semi, because- while he works 40 or so a week and its local, he works nights and I work days...so we usually only see each other on weekends. This new arrangement would actually put him home for 13 weeks a year....
I said I would support it...so the ball is in his court to find out the details, etc....
wow.
I am now T minus 3 for vacation. I am so much more than ready. I am packing and getting everything ready to go. 
Of course, weather reports in PV for the next several days are for THUNDERSTORMS...lol...but who cares? A king size bed with a view...and NO RESPONSIBILITY...its all very, very good.
but....ALASKA? hmmm....stay tuned!
Huh?

A lot to think about, for sure. I am one of those who does not have to see my spouse every single day. I'd take the vacation.
Enjoy your trip!
