Without further adieu

Well here it is. The post we've all known was coming. I. Miss. My. Husband. There we are. I miss him A LOT! This blog has been a fun distraction for me. I spend a good part of my free time coming up with things I want to write about. This morning, I decided a do a post on what's good about the hubs being in OK.

Guess what, I came up with two little things. That made me sad. I could only find two good things, and they were two things I don't even much care about. Sole control of the remote and the whole bed to myself. I really don't watch that much tv and I would much rather share the bed with my husband. This is going to be my life for the next 5 months, and I can only come up with two things...sigh

Of course I can come up with a list a mile long of things that are not so great. Taking out the compost, Roling the huge garbage can down our Mt Everest of a driveway, emptying the diaper pail, making breakfast, packing my lunch, getting myself out of bed, are just some of the things I thought of today.

I pulled out a calendar and mapped out when I would get to see him over the next 5 months. And I came up with a whopping 3 times! MLK weekend, my spring break, and friend's wedding in New Orleans. Woo, three times in 5 months. I know others have it much worse, but for someone who has gotten quite used to having him around everyday for the past 5 years, it is hard.

Other people complain about having to do everything around their house, but I'm lucky, I have a husband who does just as much as I do. He helps cook, clean, do laundry, wash dishes, and he helps out a great deal with MA.

My assistant principal asked me Friday when Jordan left why wasn't I crying in a corner somewhere. I don't really know why exactly, but despite missing him terribly I haven't cried, not once. I am a crier there is no doubt about that, but I have just too much to do to sit down and cry.

One of the things my husband is best at is listening to me ramble on about all of my stories from the day, and the blog has turned into my "ear" for all of my stories and complaints. I am not saying woe is me or anything like that. I know I am fine and I know we will be fine, but I am just acknowledging that even though I say I am fine, I do miss him a whole awful lot.

The sun will come up tomorrow and the world will keep turning, but it would be a lot nicer if he were closer.
