Most Everyone today is blogging about their Halloween fun ( I'm sure). Not me!
I am so frustrated with my husbands work hours. He works in the Oilfield for a Solutions Company. Basically a Solutions Co. in Oilfield rents out all the Housing, Water, Portalble Toilets, Generators, Communications, ect. They work 24/7, 372 days a year. (Yes, I know there are not 372 Days in a year but after the last few days, it feels like he works those extra few.)
Monday, He worked 11 hours. Tuesday, 14 hours. And yesterday, another 14. I guess my big gripe is that Halloween is a big holiday for our family and community. Every year I spend hours and hours planning a building costumes. I love to sew and design so, halloween is just for me! This year was no different. Lets just start at the begining.
We were asked to be greeters at the annual Halloween Pumpkin Walk in our costumes from last year (an angel and the devil). We were all excited till, work intervined. Mike was in Colorado all day and a good part of the night. My 16 year old nephew stepped in and played the devil role and we had a great time but, I still missed my Mikey.
The big bummer came yesterday. We decided that Coryne, MJ, and I would be Little Bo Peep and her lost sheep. I was Bo and Coryne and MJ two of the cutest sheep you have ever seen. Mike and Shane were going to be a rodeo clown and a rodeo bull. (Mike was an actually rodeo clown up until we got married.) Well, at 11am an oil rig calls and says come move us. To sum up my frustration, NO one understood Shane costume and he had to repeatedly tell everyone what he was. That is very frustrating for a three year old.
The even bigger kicker, all the kids were in bed sound asleep, costumes put away, candy safely hidden, and me crying on our bed when my dear, hard working husband made it home in the wee hours of the night.
He really likes his job. We just hate the unpredictability of it.
Well, Thanks for reading my stress. And I an so sorry that this Blog was down for so long. After we (finally) got DSL I got Very sick so,....
