Hi all I hope your Thursday is a good one?? Mine has been OK. The mower guys came yesterday and finally mowed our yard! The grass was up to our knees!!! They had to come back today and finish it, so they got done about 8 or so. I paid them and that was that. I can't believe they didn't show up til the 20Th to do our yard! Goodness, had me worried, that is the last thing that we need is a $200 fine for our grass!!!! Well had a busy day, had to pay on our loan, but they got robbed this morning! So going to go pay them tomorrow, and take out money for hubby for the next two weeks! He had a stressful and crummy day! He got a load going to close to Chicago, IL. Well he was supposed to be loaded at around 1pm or so, maybe 3 at the latest, well he didn't get loaded until 7:30 pm!! He called his dispatcher and told them that, and they said OK just get there as soon as you can. Now mind you Darryl had been up all day already, so he started driving, and was gonna lay down for an hour or so. Well he ended up laying down for 3 and 1/2 hours. So he didn't get to the place til noon time, and the appointment time was for 7 or 8........ well it's a 13 hour drive up there, not counting fuel time, weigh stations, and eating and all. So what do they expect! I mean they expected him up there at 8am! YEAH RIGHT!!!!! So they were all mad at him, even the manager at the place where he was getting unloaded, and the place that was gonna reload him closed at 4pm! Luckily he made it there before they closed. I mean what do these people expect. I mean his dispatcher called the manager and told him that Darryl would be late, nothing else, didn't tell him that he didn't get loaded til 7:30pm nothing!! OOH this is making me so mad. Darryl comes home disgusted, with no motivation at all, and cranky! I would be too if I thought I was doing a good job, and then they say well you could have done better by getting there at 8am, yeah right, they obviously don't know the meaning of driving carefully, stopping for fuel, or eating, or weigh stations!!!! I just don't get it! Some of the dispatchers have been drivers they should know what it is really like to get to an appointment on time, ya know. I can't wait til he gets his schooling done, and gets a job where he can be home every night, and help me take care of the kids and such. I also can't wait til I start my schooling!!!! :) I am still not sure whether I am pregnant or not, took a pregnancy test, and it came up negative, so I am gonna take another one tomorrow morning and see what it says! Kinda hoping that it says pregnant, and then also hoping I am not, because right now we can't afford another baby, and I am wanting to do my schooling, and a baby will kinda hamper that, so not too sure what to think right now! I will keep you posted on the results. Right now I am pretty sure the last thing Darryl needs to hear is that I am pregnant, because of this job, he has no motivation, and I keep telling him that he needs to finish his schooling and use that as motivation to get out of that job, but I can also understand that it has to be frustrating when you think/know you are doing a good job on something, and a member of the company just shoots ya down, with no regards to your feelings. Well I think I am gonna play some games on pogo and get to bed. So I hope you all have a great Friday (TGIF!!!!), take care, pleasant dreams, Hugs ~ Jilly
