Mean, Mean Man!

My husband is not nice! ...Well in the sense that he just dangled a very tasty possibility in front of me with no odds to accompany the potential of whether or not it will happen!
He just got a call from his buddy who works a contract city and there's a day shift opening up over there as traffic... Meaning a slick top (no light bar, sneaky) so Ben's really excited. Other than the fact that he'll have to give up his 2008 Explorer that he got due to the fact that he's out playing in the sticks and snow every night. It's not only a day shift, it's a flex shift - which apparently means as long as he works a rush hour he can pick his schedule day to day, and can even go 4-10's if he wanted. Oh and set days off instead of this rotating junk!
Do ya'll see why I'm drooling? I would love to not have to sleep alone and hear every crick and crack all night, and get to actually make plans and not have a sleepy husband for everything becasue he has NO sleep schedule! Oh and maybe finally find a church that we can really get involved in without worrying about him needing to sleep a little longer or leave early...
All I want to do is pray that he gets it... But the flip side is, it's not as safe of an area as where he is now, so how can I ask God to put him there??
I'm confused!

Well you pray and ask God what he wants and then trust Him to take care of all that you need from there. But of course you already knew that I'm sure. :) So we'll pray that God will help you be able to do that.

Love Teresa

I knew Teresa would have the right answer for you. :-) It's certainly understandable why the new shift would make you happy, though.

Maybe this is God's way of reminding you that there are better shifts and, even if you don't get this one, he'll get to change eventually.

WAIT! New town? Slick top? Yikes! Would that town start with a "C"?

I already checked out how he feels about chubby gray-haired grannies with lead-soled orthopedic sneakers...he says he won't bust 'em if they are driving legally.

(Had to rewrite this due to a typo.)

No, it's not Covington :o)
It'll up North of Seattle... And if you haven't figured him out yet, he's a real big softy! Especially for sweet Gramma's like you... I think he might bust the purse swinging, grumpy Grannies though! "You can always talk your way into a ticket" :o)

Yep, sounds like a perfect job for him with the slick top...sneaky and all!
