no 9-5 around here

Yesterday Dave left for work at 7. Did not come home for lunch. Came home at 7:30 pm. Left to go back to work at 9:30 and came home at 1 am.

Today he left for work at 7. Came home for lunch at 12. As of 11:36 pm he is still at work. Part of the reason is the weather. We are in the middle of a crazy blizzard and the road he has to take home is closed at least at the freeway exit. However, it is really because he needs to work. He isn't in Boise (thank goodness) but these hours are nuts!

Be happy that your husband has a good job, one that he loves! Be happy that he does come home, eventually. Be happy that you are in a winter wonderland and that you don't have to go out in it. Happy Valentine's Day. Decorate cookies.

I'm all too familiar with the odd hours husband. It's the unpredictability of it that gets wearing, but the flip side is being grateful that they are self motivated and go to work. I'm not so sure I could make it to a job all pressed and showered that early in the morning. Especially if that same job kept me up that late at night.

I like your mom's advice. She sounds like a wise woman:)

Happy Valentine's Day!

That doesn't sound like much fun--for you or him! Hope things get better! Happy Valentine's Day!

I often feel your pain, so you've got sympathy from me.

Ugh! Could you believe the roads? Much scariness last night. My dh is working from home today for that very reason. I hope yours gets home safe, sound, and soon!

Thankfully, my dh left during one of the brief "road open" sections of the night, and made it home- though it took 3X the normal drive. You have lots of sympathy from me about the hours. It is the pits.
