Yes, a slight complaint and vent, but also a yippee. For one thing, he’s home tonight and I’ve barely seen him in the last 4 days. He worked an extra shift so we could have vacation the weekend prior and then I had a bachlorette party to go to with some other fire wives and a soon to be wife. Super fun! Guess I can blog about that tomorrow.

But since he’s worked 3 days already, it seems like he should be done. We still have tomorrow dang it. I want him to stay home I miss him. OH well, this way I will actually get work done. lol Today I didn’t get a thing done. I went to work for a few hours to teach the seniors fitness class, made some calls, checked emails and then we ran off to go shopping for fishing stuff. The salmon are kickin’ right now and I needed waders. Oh boy, should I post a pic? Believe me, it’s HOT! UGH, puke, bleh. The gonna-be-wife fishes so she and I can hang out. I get bored fishing, so I’ll catch my limit quick and then be sitting on the river bank with some wine or beer. lol

Wow, this post went totally random.

It’s fire service related so it goes on this blog. I’m a personal trainer and I have 1 fire and 3 cops I train. I could go into their long details, but they are swat, captains, yada-yada We don’t need to go there with the “name” dropping. ROFLMAO

I’ve worked out with one guy that I didn’t know at all before we started training. Then we’re talking and he’s a volunteer for the town next door, so of course I bring up a friend who WAS with them for many years and they are still really good friends. Yep, small world, of course. Well this mutual friend is the total REASON that hubby applied to be a volunteer. So needless to say, it’s a big mutual friend. Then we are all similar age. He is friends with the Chief in our small town as well. Someone that was instrumental in training hubby also.

So just to lay the ground work, I was also laying the gossip grapevine. lol I know how all of these boys talk. So when said client (total friend now) started bitching a lot and deemed me his Gym Dom I laughed it off and then freaked. OH SHIT, this could get around and this guy is going through a new divorce.

I immediately told hubby and nothing has come of it ever since except with the friend and I, but boy it’s lucky I have such a hubby that he understands. I know most guys would freak out for the sexual reference.

Yes, I’m bossy. Yes, I have been since birth. Just ask my family. lol Do I love hearing Gym Dom? YEP I do. Know what I love more? Hearing “YES, Gym Dom!” LOL

It’s just always been funny to me because I was waiting for the emails to start flying. I mean I already get told by each of them to ask so-and-so about this? Or bring up this? Total instigators. By the way, this isn’t even our department I’m referring to that I get the darn grapevine going through.

He was a volunteer for about 8 years before getting hired on. In those years he was working his ass off in construction. Minimum of 2 hours of commuting a day and rarely 40 hours a week of paid work before the crappy commutes. He’s competent so that made it easy to get and keep jobs with companies.

This means he was so tired. There were many nights he’d be crashed out in his recliner by 7:30. So hard cause we were dieing to talk to him and he us, but he was just beat. On top of all of these hours, he was also permanently on call with the fire department. That’s what being a volunteer means. You never go off call. Those that have jobs that they are on call certain days of the month and bitch, well you ain’t seen nothing.

Of course being Mom, I’m a light sleeper. Well he isn’t and put the over-tired with it and he would sleep through pagers a lot. I learned quick to wake him up with the call and possibly the address to go to. See why I need a scanner? I’m seriously used to knowing what is going on cause I sent him out to it. Anyway, he had to be woken up most nights or he would have never made the calls.

I worried when he got hired on that he wouldn’t wake up. Oh boy did I worry. But the fact that it’s his only job now has made all the difference. Others have slept through calls when first getting hired on. Our friends included and they never get to live it down. But he has always woken up and I’m impressed. I worried for nothing
