Thank God it is Friday!!! Today is the last day my husband will work for 6 weeks. This will be the start of my season of discontent. Now I love my husband, but sometimes I can barely tolerate him.
The time he spends at work and I spend at work is basically the only time we have apart. As I believe that absence makes the heart grow fonder..I need this time away from him. The more time we spend together(like 24 hours), the less tolerant I am of him. I'm sure that does not make sense to anyone, but thats okay, it makes sense to me. I am so not looking forward to the next six weeks. I need my alone time..I know, me, me, me..But hey I am an important part of this equation.
Anyone who has been married forever and a century knows that you go through these times of "what am I doing with this man?" Spending the next 6 weeks x 24 hours will definitely give me this thought. I already know that, so I am bracing myself for it. I will have less time to blog,as all of my spare time will be spent with him(so if I disappear, I did not die(well almost..ha). I must seem cold hearted..really I am not.
While I am sympathetic to his plot(hernia..yuck), I know him so well that I know what is coming. He will constantly nag and worry about the money we won't have due to him being out of work. YUCK! Now I am a simple person..don't require much in the way of food, in fact I could live on corn flakes if I had to. I do like me cell phone and me internet and me cable. Those are expensive likes, therein lies the problem. So in order to keep his anxiety down I did a bit of begging and cajoling with the internet/cable company and had our bill reduced for 6 months(go me). I reorganized our student loans for 2 months and we filed for insurance to pay our mortgage(hey, I've paid them for 15 years for this disability insurance they can pay a couple of payments). I have done everything I can to ease my husband's burdens, save selling myself(I couldn't get much for that..ha). I am praying with all that I am that we make it through this speed bump without wrecking our marriage(which is always on the brink of going off the cliff anyways. ha). Everyone out there who has access to my blog take a moment and say a quick prayer to the powers that be that I have the patience to endure.
Thank you, that surely helped.
You all have a wonderful weekend. Pray for us on Monday as he goes under the knife(ouch!) and we start our season of togetherness(yippeee!).
peace :0 shemelts

:) I'm loving your posts!!! My mom would really relate to this. There was this one time my dad was home for a week because he'd shifted jobs and had a week off before he started the new one. He got on both our nerves!! I mean, we love him and everything ofcourse ;) But i know what you mean in this post. Everywhere in the house we went, there he was :) hehehe...just a week for us though, 6 weeks for you!!!
Best of luck to both of you :)
