I absolutely ache for my husband. I hate it so very much when he's not here. My days seem so long and empty. Like hunger or thirst, it's such a fundamental craving to be with him.
Three days down, seven to go. . .guess I'll go bury myself in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince and make the time pass a little more quickly.

Enjoy when he is gone, read good things like: Peter the Great or Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. Far more interesting. Seven days left, you should enjoy it. Time to self-indulge.
Posted by: sandy at Agosto 29, 2005 08:41 PMWilla, I know what you mean. My husband has been spending long nights at the office and once the baby is in bed, I feel pointless. I could do something productive like clean something, but I don't know, I would rather curl up on the couch with my husband, who is MIA right now.
Also, glad you mom is ok. I saw her at the new Bi-Lo the other day. I love that she remembers me from Covenant. She is one special lady.
Sandy, it has nothing to do with living vicariously through my husband. I have plenty to do without him and apart from him. I just miss him. I miss being with him. That is what I enjoy more than anything. I love to feel him next to me, to hear his voice, to lay in bed and talk to him until way past when we should've been asleep. There is just little else that makes me happy the way being with him does. If you don't understand that, then you must not have ever been madly in love with anyone.
Self indulgence is over rated. I am enjoying the time to read and blog and do things that I normally feel guilty doing because there is laundry to be done and dishes to wash. . .With Stephen and the boys gone there is much less of both. But I am not deprived of things I enjoy when Stephen is home, and it's so much more enjoyable when he is beside me.
Third Reich not so much what I think of as a fun read. I love great literature, but it's fun to dive into a good page turner from time to time. . .like the occasional good comedy-romance.
