A Long yucky week...

This week has been really rough. Chuck had a horrible time - he sat for over 24 hours outside of Peoria, Illinois waiting for some direction to come home - he was SO mad! He was ready to pack it up and come home....All I can do is keep encouraging, look for the silver lining....If there's one to be found I can find it (or at least try)! This morning he still didn't have any clue what was going to get him home, but by 1:00 he was rolling toward Gary, Indiana, to pick up a load to bring up to Inver Grove Heights. He should be here by around 3/3:30 in the morning tomorrow...he doesn't care what time it is, just so long as he gets here! He said he wasn't even going to stop if he absolutely didn't have to. The challenges abound with this job. It's not only the time away - there were times when he could definitely feel like he's on his own with no way to figure out what to do - relying on other people to find out for him. He was very helpless and frustrated. I was really frustrated, too...working on homework with Sam destroying the house around me! We have definitely been challenged. Can't WAIT to be done with school so he doesn't have to do this job anymore! He can find something local by that time, he'll have had enough experience. This is a really crazy time, right now. We're having our family Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow evening since he won't be home for the actual day....he won't be home again for 3 weeks (December 5th) when we have a tattoo party in Strum, Wisconsin.....we need that party for Christmas! Anyway, hope things are better for everyone else - we're going to try to enjoy the next couple of days! He will be going out on Wednesday!! Take Care!
