Yeah, I got high hopes. /sarcasm
Last Friday, he took that time off to come home early 'cause he knew he'd be working all weekend (8am to 4pm). Still, he got home at 2pm and had to have a shower and a pot of coffee...then the drive was way up north of here and he got lost...we got out to the salvage yards at 4:30pm and they close at 5pm on Fridays.
Sigh.
I know I sound awful...we usually do just fine on the weekends as you know. But I've never been a fan of this Blue Thumb bidness. But he's obligated to do it. That's part of what bothers me about it...you shouldn't be obligated to do something that's volunteer. But I also think someone who is involved in his education is involved in this too...so that has something to do with it too.
And it wouldn't be so bad and I wouldn't be resentful, I think, if he came home in the evening during the week. But he doesn't...not usually till Friday.
All these years...gosh, 5 years? Maybe more! He's been going to school and I don't complain much. It's almost over...bear with me, I'll quit complaining here in a sec! LOL
Yep, it gets REAL hard when you can see the end in sight. Makes for irritability.
Been there, done that, hon, when SSQ was VEY close to finishing up his dissertation for his PhD. Thankfully I didn't have to TYPE the dang thing! He hired one of the Statistics Dept. secretaries to do it. She had a typewriter with all the special math fonts necessary for it and everything. It was great for her cause she made a good bit of extra money from all the Masters and Doctoral students who needed papers typed.
It's coming, and soon. All you can do at this point is pray for patience and keep busy doing stuff that doesn't require him to be with you. Since it's nice, now, you and the boys could spend some time planting a garden! You already have the beds set up right? So it's more a matter of getting them cleaned and planted. The less you dwell on how close the end is, the easier it will be on all of you!
But on the other hand, we like seeing you about in the evenings! We miss you when you're off gallivanting for bug parts.
Anyway, the light at the end of the tunnel is most certainly not a train. Think how soon he'll be done!
