Ok, so I know that people feel the need to have a strike now and then, but really, do they think of how it is going to effect other people? Don't be so selfish! Think of how your strike is effecting ME!!! How it is disrupting MY life... MY mental well being... MY kids... and MY husband. Ok, so maybe I'm the one being a little bit selfish here :-) But, seriously, I don't know if I can take my husband being gone for another week or more.
If you really don't know what I'm talking about, let me bring you up to speed. So, my husband works for a certain beverage company ;-) that one of their plants up in Washington went on strike last week. Because my husband is in management, he gets enlisted to go up there and help with delivering so that business doesn't get interrupted. He will continue to be up there until negotiations are finished and the drivers/workers go back to work. I get it, it's part of his job to do this. I get that people strike now and then to get what they feel is fair or whatever.
That doesn't mean that I have to like it!!!
I don't like being a single mom, even if it is only for a couple of weeks. Jason was able to come home for the weekend (2 nights) which I am grateful. If we still lived in Arizona, I wouldn't be able to see him until this whole thing was over. So, for that I am glad. I think there will be a lot of trips to the parks and gym this week :-) If I did still live in Arizona, I would have my wonderful sister Nilda that I would have begged to spend time with me and possibly spend the night to help pass the time while he is away, but no, I am here, in Oregon, 22 hours away... So, I will do my best to keep myself and the kids busy and happy.
Wish me luck!!!
