Trying not to let my jealous streak come out.

I am finding myself a little ticked. CT just emailed me to let me know he’s done work already and is heading home. He only started at 11. So, he left a mere 4 hours into his workday. And this happens all the time. I would say in an average day, he works from 11-5. And usually has a lunch break. So, he leaves the house 3 hours after me every morning and we usually get home around the same time. This just really bothers me because I would absolutely love to have 3 hours every morning to myself. Here is my schedule: get up between 6 and 6:30, shower, make lunch, eat breakfast, and leave the house by 7:30am. Then when I get home, I feed Smokey, clean his litterbox, get changed into my workout clothes, and then start on my workout. Some days I am lucky and get my workout started before CT gets home.

I am in no way mad at CT, I think it’s great that he has short days. I just can’t help but feel jealous. Most of the time he does do the dishes or do a little cleaning in his time to himself in the morning. And he does get up at 7am every morning to spend some time with me before I leave for work. I am just really jealous because he has loads of time so he is already almost done his Christmas shopping and I have barely started mine! And I am NEVER home without him. Now that’s not a bad thing, it just means I can never just pop out to do some shopping without him. Like when am I ever going to be able to get his gift? I never have any free time! The few minutes I have per day to myself I use to work out.

I know that when we have kids I will be really glad that CT has such an amazing schedule and doesn’t leave for work until 10:45am. But for now, it totally stinks. Especially since I would love to have that time to myself. I could work out every morning, get some stuff accomplished around the house, get my shopping done, etc. GAH! I guess I just needed to vent for a minute.
