for me! Matt has been out of town since early Sunday am and is coming home tomorrow! I can't tell you how happy I am going to be to see him. Not only do I miss him, but the kids are in despite need of some daddy time. Anytime he goes out of town, I think of all the military wives who have to do the single mom thing for months on end and I feel a little guilty, then I remind myself that I did not marry a military man and it was not something that "I signed up for". Needless to say, the kids and I faired pretty well over the last week, other than a few tears shed by Claire. She seems to have the most difficult time with Daddy being away, probably b/c he is the only one who understands her (could have something to do w/ the fact that she has the exact same personality as me)!
Here has what I have learned and will happily admit:
1) I NEED my husband-yes I just admitted that! Not only do I need the adult conversation in my house, but I NEED the distraction. My kids need the distraction.
2) He DOES do stuff around here-yes I just admitted that too! It may just be an extra set of eyes, hands or ears, but it is something (for the record, he is a lot more than that).
3) I am NOT in anyway EVER leaving my husband. Any discord that can come in a marriage is tolerable compared to being a single parent of 3 small children!
4) My desire to have a 4th child is GONE....
