Is mom home yet?
Through out the weekend, I heard basically 3 things from my kids. "When will mom be home", "Can I call mom" and "How long before mom is home".
I selfishly played and entertained the kids all weekend. I say selfishly with a grin, because, I have a school board meeting Monday night and leaving for Pennsylvania Tuesday morning. I will not be back till next Sunday. So I purposely spent alot of time playing with the kids all weekend, as opposed to ignoring them. (wink)
Kel asked me not to trash the house (lol) while she is gone. I managed to not only clean up my and the kids messes, but shampoo'd the carpets, wipe down everything and clean out her car. (big applause for me) Other than that, I pretty much gamed with the kids.
Unfortunately I was awoke Sunday morning around 6:30 a.m. by work. I had forgotten in my slumber I was actually on-call this Sunday (took it for a peer). Talk about a rude awakening. As you know, once I am up, I am up.
Now that it is 2 a.m. local time, I am again awaken for work. Not a single call all day with the exception of these off hour ones. I guess I shouldn't gripe. Seems there were 3-4 servers down. No telling why. I just spent 40 minutes recycling what I can with a vendor. I updated the siemens ticket and paged the facilities to recycle their side. I should head back to bed gathering what little sleep I have left, but I figure as soon as I do, my cell will ring.
I am glad Kel is back home. I knew she would be tired. I didn't think she would be up too late this night and I was right. around 7:15 p.m. she was already crashing. What surprised me was our son beat her to bed. Unreal.
