Full Moon and Summer

HotWife — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 17:07:54 +0000

The problem with the full moon schedule is it’s not as specific as just the night of. It can hit a couple of days before and after. However, I’m glad he’s not working tonight when the full summer moon is hitting. It’s been bad enough the night before. He was crazy busy. The funny thing is, [...]

TMI

I know there are times that go farther between posting than I’d like. It’s not for lack of ideas, it’s because I try to be smart and think before posting. I refuse to be like so many other sites and post info that in my opinion violates privacy laws. I try hard about that and [...]

Emergency Ultralight Landing

This wasn’t too far from my house. Not dangerously close by any means, but a little ways down the road. I wasn’t home and my friend texted me to tell me the district must have just blown up because there were sirens going from both stations like crazy. We heard a plane had crashed and [...]

Hey OT

HotWife — Sun, 18 Jul 2010 00:22:48 +0000

Well last night I posted about summer schedules, hubby called me outside to help with the gate and then the call came in for OT today. Our friends are all out of town so we knew we’d get it. lmao Hey, it’s the price they pay for winning this snobby charity event golf [...]

What a Summer!

Wow, it’s only our 4th summer after getting hired and so much has happened that his seniority isn’t bad. We’ve had 2 groups of rookies hired and recently merged with another district. We aren’t that close to the bottom anymore and that means…? WOW, time off during the summer? WHAT?! We went into this [...]

Happy 4th of July!

Hubby is working it again as usual. I know that he hasn’t been scheduled on the day for two years, but so many years of being a volunteer just sticks with ya. We had a party every year and I hung out blowing sh*t up with our friends and he would end up [...]

Fireworks for Boys

HotWife — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 14:31:06 +0000

Hubby works again. Our son was so bummed when this was brought to his attention. “Another year I can’t light fireworks”, he said. I have guilt. Here I am bringing up the appropriately trained pyro and he hasn’t even lit fireworks. Poor 12 year old! Our volunteer life started when our son [...]

Other Kids Issues

I was going through my feedreader and Katie from The Life of Firefighters Wife had a great post. It came up with things that her poor daughter had been told by another. WOW, talk about pulling things out of remission. I had a similar experience with an older neighbor telling me stuff and then a [...]

Ok, sorry for making you watch it, but I couldn’t help myself. lol

Cupcakes to the Station

HotWife — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 17:32:50 +0000

This week is a wonky schedule with shift, drill coverage and other OT. The kids got out of school last week and I’m having a tough time figuring out what day of the week it is. lol Not used to hubby working 5 days a week and I can’t keep track if he’s coming home [...]
