But really. It's almost an exaggeration. I've always been a tough girl. I can hack about everything and anything... almost.
Tim's been gone, and the boys and I have fallen to pieces. I have no excuse. I mean, sheesh, he already works all day and makes it home just before bedtime, and I can handle that. So what's the difference? Why is it that every routine in my life is thrown by the absence of my dude. So much for Miss Independence. This really bites.
He'll be home tonight. I'll be at girl's camp 3 hours before he steps his highly anticipated manly toes in our front door. Oh the reunion! The boys are going to go crazy!! And I'm going to missing Tim.
Tanner just told me, in a very commanding tone "Daddy Home!" with a furled brow. Hunter's said "Mommy, when I wake up tomorrow, will Daddy be there?" And I've said to myself "It's not even been two weeks, and I've fallen apart this much?!"
I MISS YOU TIM! I hope somewhere in your crazy busy time of these back to back emergency trips (only two, but still) you get this post.
I envy your blackberry. Oh what I'd give to be attached to your hip right now! See you Saturday night, handsome guy!

this is hubby tim, I am home and now you are gone at girls camp. Don't stay up too late telling ghost stories
It's funny that you post this. Chris has been gone 5 months and sometimes I get really annoyed at people who claim to understand what it's like because their husbands go away on business sometimes. However, this time I have learned a lot more compassion about it and I know exactly what to say to you!!
The first month is the hardest and out of that, the first two weeks is the absolute hardest. So, you went through the most hard part without the benefit of seeing it get easier at the end of it. By the end of one month you have a routine down (mine consists of lots of lazy and self indulgent things but hey, it's still a routine, haha). And the kids adjust to daddy being gone and things really do start to get easier.
One thing I continue to not like is going shopping with both kids by myself. But I know I can do it now. You would have had a surge of independence if the separation had lasted longer.
Mine's been gone all week. I will say that his trips were the hardest when the boys were younger. Enjoy the reunion!
One time Ry left on a humanitarian trip to Peru for 18 days and it about killed me. Though we did figure out that he is a big time waster, since all the laundry was done and put away everyday, dishes always done, breakfast, lunch and dinner all served hot and fresh. Clean floors, organization galore. Yep...I guess I clean when Ry's not around. Ya know those last hours before bed and the kids are asleep? Those were the loneliest. But yeah, it's nice to do your own thing, but I think it kind of stinks having the man of your life gone. So, I prefer hanging around with him...wasting time and not getting too much else done. I'll take that over a clean house any day. It's a good sign that you miss him so much...it just shows how much you love having him around.
