There's No Place Like Fargo

As of late Kevin has been on the road doing construction work again. His latest job was in Fargo, ND. He's been overseeing the remodel of a Verizon store up there, and needless to say all of the preppy boys in their polo shirts have been less than pleasant. Here is the latest example:

Kevin came home this past Friday at about 7:00pm. We had a nice dinner, watched TV, etc. On Saturday at about 1:00 he found out that he had to go BACK to Fargo that night and 'babysit' some subcontractors. I decided to go with him and shop the mall while he was working. Thankfully Dad agreed to watch the girls overnight and off we went. Now, Fargo is only about 3.5-4hours away, but it seems as though we went into a whole new world. Craziest people I've ever seen. Anywho, I shopped, we went to dinner, and we left at about 9am on Sunday. Kev was totally excited to come back that afternoon and just hang with the girls. We arrived at about 1:00 and he found out at about 1:30 that he had to GO BACK!! Yes, that's right, GO BACK!!! So he left at about 3:00 again to drive up to Fargo........Nice weekend, huh? But wait, it gets better....

The plan was for him to leave mid morning on Monday and come home for Monday and Tuesday. I didn't get the call that he was leaving until about 3pm. Roughly 20 minutes later I get another call. It's Kev telling me his radiator has a leak. You have to be frickin' kidding me!! Trying to make a long story short he found a part that could be delivered this morning (Tues) and he is on his way now. He should be at my work at about 1:00. So since Friday he has come home, left, come home, left, and is on his way home again now. Luckily the job in ND is done and he only has to receive a shipment tomorrow on another site...Then he has 4 days off!! :D

I forgot how crazy this whole "traveling construction" thing can be. I am doing OK handling it, but Ellie has a hard time when Daddy says he will be home and then he's not. I really see her acting out a bit more (if that's possible for a 3 year old of her kind)...My goal is to make this as easy on her as possible. And if that means I throw his phone into the lake this weekend then so be it!!!!
