On call

Danny and i are experiencing his first weekend "on call.". 2:37am this morning i hear a strange ring...hit the floor running to find out what it is. Danny is in the kitchen, holding his work pager/phone. There is no message so we head back to bed. No more get comfy again, and the house phone rings. Guardrail damage, he has to go. He gets home at 6:30 this morning. Sleeps a while and heads out to get gas, fertilizer, and a tire. Calls me and says ANOTHER guard rail issue...so he heads to McKinney, to the yard again and they off to the other side of Farmersville. Back at 4:30pm. We just got back from dinner at the Weston Cafe and i sat thinking PLEASE dont let that damn thing ring. We're back home now. Going to set the clock forward in a few minutes and pretend it's almost 10pm.

My Friday night was as follows:

Home at 7:45pm. Change clothes and head to Prosper for fajitas and a margaritta. Home right after and to bed. Wake up a little before midnight to make sure the kids get home. Back to bed, cant sleep, so i play Angry Birds until a little after 1am. Lights out. That damn phone rings, up at 2:37am. Back to bed after Danny leaves, cant sleep, so me and the Birds play again for about 30 minutes. Wake up at 5am hot, so i get up and go to the garage. Danny gets home at 6:30 and i go back to bed at 7:20. Back up at 9. Tired yet? I am! Night night. And if you plan to take out a guard rail tonight, please DO NOT do it in Collin County! I need some sleep...
