No Dinner Dates at Station

I know better, I even tweeted I knew better. lol

No kids, he was working at home station and it was all guys I know on shift. Fun times, I’ll bring dinner over and eat with you. It’s finally suppose to stop raining, let’s GRILL!

I even texted him during the day a couple of times. But of course the text message saying I’m almost there is the one I was getting no response to. Pull up an no rigs, freakin-frak. Like I excepted different? Not really. I never remember the codes to get into the station, but I didn’t need it. I started tweeting from my phone and within a couple minutes I hear a firetruck pull up. Ahhh, love that sound! Cool, hubbies riding engine (they don’t have set assignments) and he’s with them.

Seriously, he comes out the door after helping back rig in, grabs half the food, I grab other half, I get a kiss and someone is yelling out the door, “we got a tech call in Orting”. WELL HELL, seriously? Our tech rig never seems to move unless it’s going to drill and the one time we plan a BBQ dinner? lol Yeah, ain’t that the total norm.

So I crammed all the food in his arms and sent him off with another kiss and a serious, no big deal. He felt bad which I will yell at him about, it’s not his fault and it’s something I plan for. Disappointed sure, but it’s to be expected.

BUT THEN, wth am I going to eat? I’d planned on eating with them. Damn, off to wonder around grocery store and find nothing I wanted to eat. lol I texted a friend and asked her to text her hubby that if he’s riding medic that the food is all there and start grilling. Medic was on a transport so I knew they’d be getting back before hubby.

Well hubby got back about 2 hours later. We joked back and forth, won’t go into detail here about it, but the rescue was a complete success. He was just getting the grill going so they could eat and inviting me over. I’d already eaten of course and didn’t want to jinx them by coming over. Plus, honestly my butt is pretty planted by that late. I had high plans to get to bed early so I could get breakfast done before he gets home in the morning.

At the time of writing this it’s 11:40pm and I haven’t heard back from him yet. I’m hoping he actually got to eat, but I have some serious doubts. It’s been busy and it was busy for the engine today which isn’t normal. Starting the set off with a busy day is usually a sign. I’ll definitely get him food set up for the other days he works. I’m looking forward to him being home for a day even though he’s going to be so tired.

I hate planning dinner. But this is the first time in 4 years that it’s gone this bad. Before I’ve finished up eating on my own, or started eating with other guys as he’s on his way to station. But this time it was all messed up.
