I slept SO well last night. For the first time in 2 weeks, in fact. And the reason is … the bed (and house) isn’t empty anymore.

Yesterday, I left for work early cos I wanted to see if I could get some stuff at the Dollar Store and Walmart and then go into work a little early and keep the day shift company. We been working skeleton screws these last few weeks, and she was in alone all day and bored I am sure. I hadn’t heard from hubby all morning. I sent him a text message at somewhere around 2pm cos I was thinking what the hell, he hadn’t said ANYTHING to me about how he did on his final test. He didn’t answer until over a half an hour later. He said he’d passed and was going to be going over the questions. About an hour later I see that he’d passed with flying colors.

By this time, I had been at work for a while. About 4pm he goes “wonder if I can make it home in time?” and we figure he’d be home by 10pm or so. But then he starts talking to me about how excited he is to see me and all that jazz and I am thinking “How can you be talking to me if you’re on the road?” So I tell him to shut up and focus on the road cos I didn’t want to read about him. I bend my head at work and get into some practice problems – trying to distract myself, trying to get an extra bonus at the end of the season … trying not to think about seeing my husband again that night for the first time in 2 weeks!

At 8:30 it hits me that I hadn’t heard from in a while. So I text him to ask what’s what? No response. So I call. Goes to voicemail. I call 5 more times, because no WAY is it supposed to be going to voicemail like that unless something is wrong. Of course, I start to worry. Sitting there tapping my feet, looking worried… and my colleague goes “don’t worry – his battery probably died or something” and I am trying to accept that as possible. Then finally he sends me a response – he was listening to iHeart Radio on the iPhone… (something *I* gave him. hehe.) Apparently, when iHeart is on, the phone can’t accept calls AND he’s north of Louisville … and I am like wewt! less than an hour. I didn’t even think twice when I said to him “It sounds like you aren’t moving” and his response was “Yea – I”m at a rest stop”.

So I rush home at 9. He’s texting me while I am driving. I call him “What’s so urgent, hun? I’m driving – I can’t be checking text messages” He’s like nevermind. Hurry home. So I told him I was on our road and heading home. And he said good.

Well, I pull into the driveway and there is a truck standing in the drive. I didn’t get it at first. I just sat there going WTF WTF WTF… then he opened the door and I was like “…” I couldn’t move. Then he rushed out, grabbed me out of the car and swept me up into the biggest hug of ALL TIME. I was like WTF WTF WTF … and he’s laughing.

And then he drops the bomb “I’ve been home since 4:30!”

!!!

Of course, that’s when I start slapping him and telling him off and laughing … and he’s laughing and we’re standing in the front yard holding tight onto each other and laughing and kissing …

He’s a little ginnal, he is. A little devil. He loves to surprise me (yet does not himself like surprises – go figure), loves to see the look on my face when he surprises me with things. Said he stood by the door waiting for me and calling to Nala to “come look at mommy’s face” when I pulled into the driveway. Man! What a man!

Anyway, all that to say … I slept WELL last night. Like a baby! And I am a HAPPY camper again. Nevermind that I have to work 8 hours today, I am ecstatic!
