I especially love it when my wife goes away from Friday through Sunday one weekend a month for her duty in the Coast Guard Reserve. Three long days at the office, followed by four long days as a “geographically single Dad.” Try waking up at 5:15 am on Monday morning after that routine so that you can get an early start to your next three 12-hour days at work. Then throw in four rental properties that I manage, repairs around the house, bills, finances, family, a wife who is seven months pregnant (we’re having a boy this time), and everything else life has to offer and it’s an awful lot of balls to juggle.
