Crochet Me Crazy

The kids planned a camp out this weekend. The Grain's grandkids came over on Friday evening and they camped out. I had a sleepless night with them out there. Alos, the dogs slept with Jeff and I and they kept me up moving around all night. I don't like to sleep with the dogs and they usually sleep with the kids. The kids were camped a little hike away from the house and I was mainly worried about keeping an eye on their campfire. Alison cooked Gumbo over the fire. They didn't stay up too late though because we had to get up for trail rides this morning. Slow day up there at the stables and we came home early. The kids came back home with us again they've been busy entertaining themselves this afternoon...swimming, driving, riding the 4-wheeler, playing games in the horse arena. I *think* the kids might not end up sleeping in the tent tonight...I think everyone is tired and we are having some pretty strong winds. I'm really tired from my sleepless night so I'm going to bed now.

Jeff is getting home really, really late from work tonight. It's 11:14 and he's probably got an hour and a half drive to get home. Poor guy...we're thankful he has a job but it's really wearing him out. He's exhausted all the time. He works around 60 hours a week if you include the driving which he doesn't get paid for. They route him all of the place....back and forth. It's not a job people want to stick around for if something better comes along for sure. Most of the guys that were hired on when my husband was, feel the same way. They certainly don't make it easy for you. I hope he can get the Field Service Manager position when they post it. I don't know how a person can keep up that schedule forever. Pray for my hubby!
