The "Daily Grind"

I've recently had a lot of interest from readers through e-mails and comments about the "nuts and bolts" of daily life. Do I have my dry cleaning delivered to the hospital? When was the last time that I saw my wife and daughter? etc.
Well the simple answer is that my life style is actually pretty good. Most weeks, I work about a 50 hour week 8am to 6pm monday through friday. We have a neonatologist in the hospital 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. So about every six weeks, I do a week of nights. During this week, I come in at 5:30 pm and leave around 8 am the next morning. This is a 90 hour work week, and can be quite grueling as it plays the worst kind of havoc with one's sleep cycles. The bright side is that the other 5 weeks, you don't have to worry about working nights! I work about every sixth weekend as well. I get a generous amount of time off which really makes family life work quite nicely! My wife is a group fitness instructor and takes care of our 10 month old daughter full time, taking her to the nursery at the gym during her classes which she teaches on average one to two per day during the week. She also teaches an occassional weekend class, and when I'm not working this makes for a nice Daddy / Daughter day out!
Overall, there are jobs with much better hours, and sure I miss out on a few things here and there, but I really can't complain and I really don't think I'd change anything about "the daily grind". Oh, wait maybe a few less nights!
