My lovely wife has been away for the past 6 days. A month ago, when we had some extra money, I purchased her a round trip ticket to Rhode Island - where her family is.
She hasn't been able to ever go back and visit family without having kids in toe, and I honestly felt she deserved the chance to get away for a bit.
The other reason she was going to be away was to finish getting her name changed on her drivers license. We finally have the same name, throughout. For a while now she has been wanting to get her identity issues fixed. So during her trip east she was able to take care of it.
During this past week, I have missed her terribly. Its been hectic, trying to remember to pick things up from the store, check to make sure everyone has their meds, and at the same time making sure I have my school stuff in order. Some things have slacked, I admit. However, we've done good. I didn't have us eating out every night. In fact, we really didn't eat out much at all.
No one was hurt, no doctor visits, and I haven't wanted to kill anyone. Now I will admit, I haven't been able to focus much attention on my class stuff, but I can catch up.
Being apart has given me a moment of pause to appreciate having a two parent home for our kids. It has also reminded me how much I love that woman! I am looking forward to everything about her.
Thanks for everything you do to keep the house running! I love you!!!!
