Good Days and Good Nights
My daughter's husband has another job on a drilling rig, meaning he is gone for days at a time. This is ok with us, at least the pay is good and that always helps. She took her FIRST job several months ago, working from ten at night to six in the morning, while the kids are sleeping and her husband was home to watch.
Last night was the first night that he was gone, and she told me a week or so ago that she didn't want to quit her job because it made her feel good, and gave her her own money - but had asked her retired mother in law to spend the night twice a week at my daughter's house while the kids were sleeping...she said she would do it, for a price, so the husband and I agreed that she could bring them when she needed, having them fed most nights and in pj's so that we could all go directly to bed if needed.
Last night went well, except the second dog that she has purchased, (the first is still here from when we babysat over the summer months while they moved and got settled)...anyway this dog is here, yapped all night, and she didn't take him with her this morning...so needless to say this little dog isn't happy with the outside arrangements we have set forth...no dogs in the house, not so at their place. I put her on the enclosed porch last night, which has plenty of room and is partially heated - although last night the temps only got down to the fifties. When I got up this morning to open the door for my daughter, an entire fifty lb sack of feed was shredded and everywhere !!!!!!!
Not too nice to wake up to that, but the grandchildren sure were happy to wake up and realize they were still at Nanna and Pappa's house.
Tonight they are home, as her husband is there and will keep the kids, and the husband is making crab legs and boiled shrimp.... Doesn't get much better than that !
