I am SO thankful yesterday I went out on a girly trip with Zoe. Usually when Carl works on saturdays I'll stay home waiting for him to come back and be all mad that it takes a few extra hours then expected. Yesterday he was to be done at noon, I came back home at 5PM and he had just arrived from work. We ate supper while Lucas was napping, at 06:30pm dh was off to bed for the night...
How exciting does that make my saturday night! LOL! So my mom sat together on the couch and each did some crafting 'stuff'. She was making Zoe a beaded belt and I was knitting a swatch. My swatch didn't come out perfect but since I'm too lazy to start another one I'll just use these needles for my newest project.
Oh yeah..... GUESS who left for work at 6am this morning... I tell ya, sure we are lucky that he has a job but the kids had not seen him in the last 5 days. Then when they finally see him yesterday he was a zombie, couldn't tak right, he was just starring blankly at the tv. He had to go to sleep, it was absolutely no use to the kids to keep his eyes open every 3 seconds. So he's been working every day for the past 7 days, not once has he been home more than 8 hours. Oh and as a surprise he had turned off his cell phone before going to sleep, that thing rings constantly. This morning he had 10 messages, his boss had really needed him to go back to work and do a night shift in this last night. WTF??? He slept 4 hours from friday to saturday and then worked 9 hours on saturday, they expect him to stay awake all night too!? They are crazy, I tell ya! Who knows how many hours he'll work today, of course he'll be dead tired tonight and will go back to sleep as soon as he gets here.
Now today I was SURE he'd be off of work, right? Of course not, so now do I do what I had planned or just stay home in a funk. UGH!
YES, I know we are lucky that he has a job but I don't think he ever expected being at work so much. They better let him take his holidays in 2 weeks 'cause if they don't *I* WILL call them and have dh taken off the payroll. We aren't even going to be in the city, they can not make us miss our holidays.

Off to knit away all my anger! ;)
