And the schedule changes..again!

If there's one thing I just can't get used to it's Troy's schedule switching back to days.  After so many years of him working nights, even after nearly 8 months of his new job, I still can't get the hang of him leaving so early in the morning.  The dogs woke us up well before his alarm went off...at 3:30am.  I'm not really sure what had them all wound up, but they weren't giving up until someone let them out.  Temperatures are in the mid 20's and it's spitting a bit of snow.  Sammie and Lucy jumped the fence again and disappeared into the dark...so frustrating.  Troy went ahead and stayed up to get ready for work.  Thank goodness, before he left, the two escapees returned.  Mack and Baxter curled up with me.  Everybody finally settled down and Troy left for work somewhere around 4:30am.   Being short of vehicles just makes the situation worse.  Trying to stretch one truck over 4 people on completely different schedules is driving me crazy.  Today, Caitlyn is off so that eliminates one issue.  Troy went ahead and took the truck, so we were left waiting on Zack to finish with school to get a ride to work.  The last few days have been a never ending search for a truck to replace Caitlyn's or to find one that could be used to repair hers.  It turns out that there are just way too many options available and none of them within a close vicinity to us.  Unfortunately, we've missed out on a couple of good deals because we just can't fit in a 2 hour drive to go look.  I know having patience and knowing that other deals will come along should ease my mind, but it doesn't.
