HotWife — Sat, 04 Sep 2010 04:08:37 +0000

The Soup Ladies is a non-profit group that shows up to calls to feed first responders. A friend of mine’s Mom has been involved with the group for some time and I’m more than happy to get the word spread for more exposure. They are holding a first annual dinner and auction, Friday, 10 September [...]

How to Change Your Plans in 4 seconds

HotWife — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 16:23:46 +0000

Ok, I may be exaggerating here, it could be a full 30 seconds. OR wait, it could be even less, as all it takes is seeing telestaff on the phone and you know some day’s schedule is about to change. Sure, I know that we left school supplies until the last minute. We got [...]

Every Day Given is Extra

HotWife — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 19:24:17 +0000

It’s not just because he’s a fireman that I feel this way. I felt this way since I was lucky enough to snag him 20 years ago. Every day he’s with me, he makes me smile. Yes, I’m sappy as hell right now, I’m watching P.S. I Love You for the upteenth millionth time. I [...]

Do You Cook for One?

HotWife — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 01:34:46 +0000

So when hubby’s at work, do you cook? I don’t all that often. There are usually leftovers in the fridge and the kids and I will rummage through them. I’ll add a salad and maybe a fresh veggie or side to our choices. Kids found other places to spend the night and I don’t want to eat [...]

Unexpected OT

HotWife — Sat, 07 Aug 2010 08:13:54 +0000

Unexpected overtime can be nice. Especially to get the OT at the beginning of the month. However, it’s disconcerting when it happens and you weren’t really ready for it. I guess I should have been, the OT started going out almost 48 hours before because of the deployments to Eastern Wa for the wildfires. But, it [...]

Days Off With Sun

HotWife — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 23:59:49 +0000

Tons of projects are completed or in process. Man, hubby’s been working his ass off at home, my parent’s house and then extra at work too. Happy to see a couple of days of much lower key activity during this 4 day. Starting it off with dinner and a fire with friends sure helped [...]

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

HotWife — Sun, 25 Jul 2010 06:47:32 +0000

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

HotWife — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 13:11:15 +0000

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 [...]
