Friday Madness

My Friday started bright and early at 12:23 am this morning. Well, Steve's did too with the telephone. I remember waking up to, "I'm not sure what you are wanting me to tell you." so I REALLY woke up and looked at the clock, and him, and he just shook his head and handed me the phone. It was for me, Tyson in Rogers. I handled the problem and laid back down.

Just asleep, the telephone rings again, this time 1:35 am. "Shannon, I checked the box and all the trailers and there is no paperwork, we are at 5 feet of oil and we have to pull." Trying my BEST not to go into the office, I assured them to pull the oil, and I would have the refinery fax the bills first thing in the morning.

I fell back asleep sometime, and then woke up to Steve standing over me with a glass of iced water telling me its time to get up again. WHY isn't this Saturday ? I thought to myself. I drug out of bed and told Steve to skip the bubble bath this morning, I was going to shower and pull up my hair and get right to work. When I looked at my cell phone on the way out the door, there were 4 missed calls on it..2:10 am, 2:25 am, 2:37 am, and 3:10 am. One from the director of the Omaha refinery, one from my supervisor, one from the OFFICE, and one from the owner of the company I work for. Now I had put the phone on my headboard in case Tyson called back, but I never heard the phone ring...my cell phone stays on the back porch or in the car, so now I'm really confused. I suppose everything with the trucks is worked out sort of - but dang what a day already.

I just know I will thoroughly enjoy my anniversary activities this weekend...if all doesn't get screwed up - I think 2 of the kids have major issues happening, and we seem to be the sounding board for it - not that I mind, but it is very exhausting sometimes. And extra work on my part to keep Steve focused on us and not the issues of young adults learning the ways of adulthood...they must learn on their own sometimes, as badly as you want to learn for them.

Hoping to get through today without any more emergencies, and planning a long night of slumber. We are supposed to leave early in the morning, have breakfast and start a short 1/2 day trip tomorrow and then move the rest of my things out for the rest of the weekend. Dinner tomorrow night (I'm so excited where he picked), and more moving and cleaning.

Wishing you all a safe weekend.
