Total exhaustion

After getting almost no sleep for days, and being out on the road, Andy headed to the shop when he got back to work on the trailer so he could go home and relax. As soon as his wife found out he was down at the shop, she sent the boys on their bikes over there. Never mind that he is dog tired, and trying to work. One of the boys left his bike laying on the ground behind the trailer. Andy ran over it when he backed up. His wife tells him it is all his fault, that he should have got out of the truck and looked before backing up! Well, HELLO!! The man is trying to work, he doesn't need to be taking care of those boys too, while she is at home watching TV. If they are old enough to go out on their bikes, they are old enough to be responsible for taking care of them.
He is going to have to listen to her bitch all evening, when he needs sleep. I told him not to let her make him feel guilty, it was an accident, caused by the carelessness of the boy, not him. Made him promise me that if they wouldn't let him sleep, to get his stuff, and get in his truck, going to the shop or somewhere if necessary, and sleeping in the truck. I hope she actually cooked something for him for supper, and not just cardboard pizza or something. (that's her specialty)

I have the next three days off, then report Monday morning at the other Dodge City store at 5 am. I work Mon, through Fri. there, then Sat. Through Tue. In my store. *sigh*
Rhonda and I are planning a road trip to where she used to live in Oklahoma. Going down to stay with her friend down there for a girls weekend. Thinking about going during corn harvest so that Alan won't try to come too. LOL It should be really fun. Like that country song about the three women going partying "Down in Mississippi and up to no good..." Only it will be "Down in Oklahoma and up to no good". LOL
I really wish that I had some time where I wasn't going to have to see anyone for several hours... For the last couple of weeks there have been tears just beneath the surface, just wanting to fall, release. I just won't let them, have no time for them. Life just really gets to me sometimes, gets to be too much...

Actually, Buffalo, I am probably better off without it. I think too much when I'm alone... I stay less depressed if I just don't think about anything but the moment I'm in...
