Workin Man!

well ryan found out he might have to work the friday and saturday after thanksgiving....BOO! i am one of those craaaaaazy people that wakes up at the crack of dawn (okay there's no dawn that early....) just to be ran over, ran into, breathed on, ticked off, etc.
i don't know why we do it every year...ever since ryan has been working out of town it's been our little retreat where we have a babysitter spend the night (usually my sweet mama or sista), wake up early, get some great deals...but also get to spend the day together just my and my honey....we get some lunch and have the luxury of going in and out of whichever store we please without worrying about who's crabby, who's hungry, who has to pee...you get the idea...!

we try to get some christmas shopping done, but it's my time to just let myself get in the christmas spirit! (plus we always score AWESOME deals for ourselves!!) it's fun to go into the stores all decorated up for christmas and hear the music........but........rumor is ryan will have to work.

this is the thing though....rumors fly at ryan's work like they are a bunch of women! (it's okay, i can say that, i'm a woman...i know we spread rumors....it happens). so here is the problem, i'm going no matter what...however, i won't know if my date will be coming with me until probably next wednesday (that's right....NEXT wednesday, his work also doesn't know how to plan ahead). sometimes i hate the road construction business...it's been oh-so good to us through the years....but man the schedule just sucks!
so....what has come to become our crazy tradition over the years might have to be without one very important person this year! **tear**
hannah did graciously offer to come with me....how sweet of her...but i think not!!! i love you to the moon child, but this is my day! whether i go by myself or not! plus...you will not peek at your christmas presents...but nice try!

also, apparently they have decided that they will be working until december 21st....another crazy silly rumor i'm sure. I do know they are expected to work later this year which is great...but december 21st KGM....if you're gonna start a rumor, please make it a little more believable (like not a tuesday). i mean, who works until tuesday? you could at least really get at people and say christmas eve....

ooo....wanna see what my hubby gets to run? here's some of his play toys....



this one is his baby...i mean it....pretty sure he'd choose it over me if made to choose!



he loves what he does....how many people can say that...he truely loves running this equipment! but hates being away from us (i mean, can you blame him...heehee).

hopefully soon he can get a job someplace where he can be home every night! but he definitely does what he needs to for his family!! my man is a workin man, he makes me happy! :)

well wish me luck on the shopping bit! hopefully he has it off and it's just a silly man-rumor....but we'll just have to wait and see! tis the life of a road construction man's wife!
