Hubby has been gone on a business trip since Monday. That's not a long time, but man...we sure missed him. Here are some things that are hard about when he's gone...everything. I always look forward to relief around 5'ish so I can get supper ready. We have great teamwork in the evenings. I give Little Buddy a bath, then I get him ready for bed while Hubby is getting the girls bathed. Then I clean up the kitchen while Hubby is getting their snacks and movie ready. Then I read them each a story, Daddy reads the Bible, we all pray together and the day is done. On Wednesday nights I take Big Sissy to choir and go to a Bible study while Daddy stays home with the little ones. This week no one got to bed on time, I had to skip my Bible study, I'm pretty sure we didn't read the Bible every night, and I'm still in my pajamas now at 1:30 in the afternoon.
Here's what I like when he's gone. I sleep so much better. I know...that sounds crazy. I always hear women say they can't sleep when they're husband is gone. I don't know why. I don't really get scared to be alone, and I LOVE having the bed all to myself. My favorite way to sleep is diagonally in the bed. And I don't have to listen to snoring all night. Heavenly. But if I had to choose, I would still opt for less sleep and my hubby by my side. I'm so glad this trip is over. I'm singing the Dora theme song...We did it...we did it...lo hicimos...we did it. Welcome home!!!!

I so know what you mean! I don't like it at all when Nathan has overnight trips, and I tend to stay up later because I don't like going to bed without him, but I sure do like stealing his pillow and having plenty of room (since the cat and dog feel like they have to come sleep with me when he is gone.
Glad you're "whole" again!
I can relate, Josh has been working late almost every night the past couple of weeks. I told him the other day I miss my teammate!! Children are a lot easier with two!
