Sigh..........Sigh.........I sure do miss my husband.
I miss how computer savvy he is.
I miss having him here to fix all the technical "problems" with the things in the house.
I miss his handyman abilities.
I miss his enjoyment of the cub scout program.
I miss his knowledge of were all the tools are.
I miss how he knows the layout of the storage room and what works and doesn't work in it.
I just miss depending on him.
I know, I should be proud that I can be Ms. Independent. But I don't like being her.
I'm a team player and I hate knowing that I'm "okay" without him. It just sucks.

I hear ya. I'm about to be that woman too. They told Paul yesterday at orientation that if you go for several days or a week without seeing your family to try to make a little time for them. Gee, thanks a lot!!!
However, he will come home to you and your children and be the happiest man in the whole world. Be glad that he can come home. We would not be as Independent as we think we are if we new that there was not an end to it all.
I Love You Andrea Good Luck with the Kids. I know I am far far away but, I am here for you. I am just starting to understand this being alone thing and it will only get worse as time goes on. But, someday we will be old and wish that we had something to do....(lol)
- Love, Becca
I have to say there are times I am tired of doing it by myself. My husband left when Preston was 6 months. I would never want to still be married to him because he was not the person I was meant to be with, but there are times I don't feel like changing the darn lightbulb or hoisting Preston, luggage, the strollerand two boxes to my car. I know I can do it-I just miss a man to put the windshield washer fluid in my car....I think Andrea you have inspired a future blog entry!
I hear ya. Mayah broke the cord to the phone and I had to wait until Don came back. So we were without a phone for quite awhile and still are until he can get around to it. Thank goodness for cell phones. These last two months were terrible without Don and then the 6 weeks before that was even worse because we were home all the time. Atleast this summer we passed some time being on vacation. SO I totally feel your pain. And to add to your list it is just nice to know that we can get out and get a break from it all. That is what I am looking forward too. I am going to a varsity volleyball game for my niece on Thursday so he BETTER be home in time to watch kids for that. :)
I total hear you! I have the same problem.
Annie, I know just how you feel. The only difference being that my husband can never come home. I had to become "Ms Independent" when he got sick, but he was still there with a shoulder to cry on, even if he was the reason for the tears. Knowing that you CAN do it really does suck, and I hope you never have to do it like I am. I'll try to keep you extra busy by asking lots of annoying scrapbooking questions.
