Tales of a Work Widow

My husband travels for work. Today, Canada, tomorrow who knows. Some wives may think this is horrible, but I love it. Don't get me wrong, I miss him, but sometimes its nice to have the house to yourself. I mean we both need our space, and hey I lived alone before him. Though it does pose a few problems. It means I have to take the pup out in the am and pm (and I'm not a  fan of the dark). It means I have to remember to do the odd things he takes care of like, the trash, locking up the house, opening the dog door, setting the A/C, etc.. Amazing how you never realize how many small things can take so much time in the morning. Which means I had instant oatmeal for breakfast and my hair is in a bun, but he we got all the things done and made it out of the house only 5 minutes late. Check plus for me! Just makes me appreciate the little things he does that much more!

As for Monday, well other than the sweets binge I had this weekend, I was pretty good. We celebrated a friend's birthday and then I had some much needed family time yesterday. Now just 10 12 day and I'll be on the beach in Puerto Rico, but who's counting ;)

  1. I am soooo with you. I LOVE my bf like no other, but LOVE that we don't live together. Having my OWN space is soooo appealing. I'm seriously nervous for when I get married, because I won't have just MY area.

    Great job getting everything done!

  3. I totally get you on this! My husband is a med school student and is on call a lot. Though I do enjoy my space and free time, I forget about all of the little things he does take responsibility for - until he's not there to do them and they fall to me! PS: I HATE letting our dog out at night in the dark. Hate it!

  4. I am so jealous of your upcoming vacation. But hey. I totally get you on the alone time. My husband coaches a baseball team on Tuesday and Thursday evening. Those gew hours that I have to myself after work are so nice.
