Oct. 25, 2007 - How Many Mondays in a Row?

We're a non-drinking family.
We have a dear friend who's a pastor.
We have an empty wine bottle.
The 11-year old picks up the bottle and says to the pastor, "Want a refill?"

My husband worked all last weekend.
Then he got called in Monday night to his regular job.
He got home late and settled in and he got called in again to his regular job.

This is a thirty minute drive one way.

He comes home from work Tuesday and decides to take a nap.
He can get a good two-hour nap in before friends arrive for dinner.
The night goes well and we're saying our "good-byes" and his stupid phone rings and he gets, yup, called in to his regular job.

He gets home at 1:30 a.m. and gets a nap before he goes to work for the day.

Yes, I wait up for him. Yes, I'm bleary-eyed. Yes, I'm feeling a little cranky.

So how come he's so good-natured?

The man's a saint, I tell ya!

He sounds like a saint. I don't know how these men can keep going like they do.

Kudos to Guy (can I call him Guy?)!!!

I'm sure everyone who reads this will want to know how the wine bottle became empty if you're a non-drinking family....? =)

Kelli Ann's question was on the tip of my tongue too!

The pastor's probably calling a meeting of all the elders and deacons even as we speak!!

My Dad used to get called out at all hours of the day and night....usually right in the middle of a birthday gathering or Thanksgiving Dinner....much to my mother's chagrin. He was convinced that if he didn't say yes EVERY SINGLE TIME that he would NEVER be called again, he would lose his job, and we would lose the house and all die of starvation.

I wonder if a revolving door wouldn't have been a more logical choice for our house....

I've been thinkin' about this one for awhile and it just seems to me that an empty wine bottle is just depressing, unless it's Boone's Farm or Triple X. :)
