4 Days in a week?

When I leave home to travel to site (via plane) that is equivalent to a Sunday. The next 19 mornings are Mondays. The last day (day 20) is a Friday. Then of course the next 7 days are Saturdays. You think that is weird, check out the way I count down my days until I come home. Alright I start on the first day, of course you don't count the day your on and of course you don't count your last day of work, so really in total, instead of twenty days, it is more like eighteen. I know my wife likes to ask what happens to the time at the end where you can't anymore days I just say one more getup, she doesn't really understand but that's OK. It is all a matter of perspective. The seven days off are really nice. I have the equivalent of about 13-14 weeks off in a year, that's over twice the amount I would accumulate after years as a civil servant. I know being away from home alot kind of sucks but when you tally up the fact I make three times as much as I used to and have all this extra vacation time, this turns out to be a good gig for a couple more years. In another year, after my Wife and I come back from our second trip to Europe we are probably going to give up Foster Parenting so we can better enjoy my time off. I really enjoy being around the babies but for the most part my wife does all the hard work, she needs a break. Our kids are pretty much self sufficient, obviously they still need some supervision but were getting there. By for now.
