Dj,
It is ironic that while they're not at home we pine away for their presence in the house...and during their absence we begin to make new "routines" for ourselves that we become very comfortable with.
Your post makes me feel so much better
I wasn't prepared for his stay
I did enjoy it while he was here
but just got a bit worried as I did find times when
I kinda wanted him at his mom's house
just 'cause I felt cramped & out of my routine

I know that while my H and I were separated I actually enjoyed having the TV all to myself. Although I don't watch it very often, at least I didn't have to listen to the incessant sounds coming from the Fox News network that my H is addicted to.

I came to prefer my "H's side of the bed because it really is the most convienent to the alarm clock, bathroom etc.
I think it's a male thing -
Hubby's side of the bed is the same way

And I loved being able to jump in my jammies at 5pm if I wanted to or go to bed early just to fall asleep reading.
Ok so I'm not the only one who's out of "clothes" early in the so called day
I knew there were others like me out there
as soon as i come in the house off go the clothes
when son came home i had to switch to nite shirts
befre he came home i was just in panties & bra
like the movie next friday joked about lettin it all hang out

I liked the 'freedom' of NOT feeling I had to answer to anyone about anything. I came and went as I pleased...I learned the pleasure of that freedom that my H had known throughout or M. I had always announced my itinerary he never did....now I don't.

But, he IS home and it's back to the voice of Bill O'Rielly harping through the TV
Bill's not so bad, think of him as a bad comedian
and I'm back on the 'wrong' side of the bed.


So it is funny how all of a sudden our spouses being home does 'cramp our style,' now that we've had a taste of spoiling ourselves.

Thanks for the words of encouragement
Think I'm now ready for the next loop de loop
Lets see what happens over this weekend
Tonite hubby's at his mom's up on the 3rd floor alone
basic cable, no munchies readily available
he's got lots of thinking time up there on the 3rd floor
about how the past 2 weeks have gone
how the past 1+ yr of his MLC has gone
what he's done to his own body with his MLC Replay stuff
(2 missing front teeth - denial is a bit hard to be in right now)
3 minor babystep items today
this morning he told his mom we're looking for a 3 family house
he found out where the outlet mall is to go for my winter coat
he brought home 2 reams of paper for the puter & fax machine

well let me head for bed
i can finally get some sleep now that he's at his mom's
Did I Say That?
