So my hubby's rents told him that they would give him some money to drive home on his weknd off which would be next weknd. I work all next weknd but I may be able to switch shifts around a bit but he doesn't think he wants to cuz it'd be a 5hr drive each way to be home for a day and a half....not that I blame him but I kinda got my hopes up and now I'm trying not to cry while at work....ugh...
