Saturday Morning

Saturday morning me and my blue vest had to be to work at 6:30am. I was standing there watching Tim Allen's The Santa Claus waiting for an eager customer to come and check out when I felt my cell phone vibrating in my pocket...
I'm allowed to have the phone on the floor because of the way our family is set up and with emergencies I have to be able to be contacted.
I'm thinking something is wrong...and I picked up the phone.

It was T! Sleepily saying good morning and asking what I was doing...

I laughed, I smiled and from others around me saying...I "glowed" I told him I was at work and that I couldn't talk then. He said ok, but something in his voice was saying he was looking forward to talking to me early in the morning. Still I had no customer, none of the cashiers did...so I asked my supervisor for a bathroom break. I went and called him back, he was surprised, but I could tell he liked it. We talked for mayby all of 10 min just checkin in with each other, tryin to distract myself from squealing on the phone when he said it was only 2 more weeks till he is home. Then he remembered I was supposed to be working. His voice dropped, he became stern with me and told me to really use the bathroom, and go back to work. All I could do was smile at him through the phone. I really love that man.

So for the rest of my day, I smiled and glowed and strolled down the isles...I can't help it! Its only 2 weeks away!

Then last night (Sunday) I called him at 8pm to tell him that I was going to sit-in on the 911 application. He was sleep when he answered the phone. I wanted to talk to him so bad but all I could think to say was "Babe your sleep, call me back later..." He didn't argue this time, just said "Ok, I love you" before he started snoring again. When I got off the phone I just wanted to be there...do you know how tired he must have been to go to bed at 8pm?! This is the same man that before the army he wouldn't go to bed before 3 or 4 am.

I did go on my sit-in though, I applied to be a 911 operator..thinking it would be a unique once in a lifetime job while I was in nursing school. I loved the sit-in and I could definetly do the work...especially the radio work but the training hours are during school for 2 months...so I can't do it. I liked the experience though. Now I know what happens when I call 911!
