Its been so long since I have written here, no one will read this!! :) Its okay. Life has been more than busy and even though I go to read Shannon's blog, I just don't take the time to write on mine. I'll try to catch up.
Duane is coming home for Thanksgiving!! I am so excited to have him home. Its interesting. I miss him so very much; more than most people know. I was telling this to a friend of mine; about how much I miss Duane and how excited I was to have him coming home, and she looked at me and said, "But don't you love it too? Love it that he is away and you don't have to be "the wife" everyday?" She went on to explain that she was happiest when her husband was traveling because she and the kids could kick back and relax. Mac and Cheese was a good enough dinner for them. But the truth is "No." I love being a wife everyday. I love having someone to share my life with. I love having someone to cuddle with when I go to sleep. I love waking up in the middle of the night knowing I am not alone. If I have a bad dream, I can roll over and take comfort in his presence even if I don't wake him up to tell him how bad the dream was. I have to get up in the morning first and I love the way we play before I actually get out of bed; him teasing me about how he gets to "sleep in" or trying to push me out of bed so he can get the "warm spots". There is so much I miss when he is gone like this. I understand what Nancy was saying, but, still the answer is "no".
I am taking next week off school. We have Wednesday off anyway but I am taking Monday and Tuesday. Its been stressful at school, Duane is home, it is Thanksgiving week...I want a break. Then I will have about 4 weeks until Winter Break. That should be a pretty busy time too but different busy. By then, college classes will be finished and I will have my A.T. Specialist Certificate. I remember last year, thinking that it would be a relief to have it done but knowing I had a whole year to go. Now, here I am...I love that it will be over and I won't have to feel guilty for not doing homework at night!!
Okay..gotta do a few more things and then I am off to work. I hope, if anyone reads this, that you have a good day too!!!
