So, I do loves me some snow days. How great is it to have Carla or Jenny call me and tell me to go back to bed. Sleep in and get to see the Price is Right and of course...MATLOCK! And then there is the chinese food and having the house to myself. Now, these last two may seem odd, but part of Jim's job involves plowing and salting the parking lots where he works. So when a big winter storm is coming, Jim and Ron go into overtime. Not a big deal the first time it happened...I made them cookies and sent them on their merry way.
Jim has begun to hate snow lately. It exhausts him and he hates being gone so much time. We've added a new tradition that helps though...chinese food. That helps make things better; he and Ron pick me up in the macho truck to eat and spend some time together.
Well, this most recent snow was particularly rough on him. On Monday he worked normal 4 am to 12 noon. He came home and took an anticipatory nap. He was called in to work at 2 pm. NOTHING was happening. NOTHING happened until the next morning, but whatever. He worked from 2 pm on Tuesday, all day Wednesday, until he thought 8 am Thursday. That means sleeping on a futon in the garage, showering at work, and literally not coming home at all. Ick.
To add to it, rather than heading home at 8 am today, his parents called him at 6:30 with a pseudo-emergency. Nothing for you all to worry about, but enough that he had to drive over an hour to get to their house (no, he still hasn't slept at this point). He finally got home around 10 am and got to get some sleep. He slept until 4:30ish when he had to get ready for rehearsal. Needless to say, he went to bed as soon as we got home.
As my mom would say, "poor Jimmy."
