OMG, I’m first - WOW!

That makes you a healthy couple who trust each other and support each other’s interest. And no, it’s not bad that you’re looking forward to your weekend with P. It’s nice that you two will be able to spend some time together having fun while you know Will will be having his own. It’s a treat! And, you know he’s coming back to you. The time away makes the reunion ever so sweet!

Jay leaves the end of September for a hunting trip and I’m already excited about doing anything I want for a whole week. Whether that’s eating cereal in may pajamas all weekend long, not shaving my legs, going out to dinner and a movie with a friend or absolutely nothing. I miss him a lot after hea leaves but then I really enjoy it and before I know it he’s home again. To dirty the house, but also to hug and kiss me. I think you’ll be okay…

Awesome, for both of you! IT doesn’t make either of you a bad spouse, it shows that even though your priorities are each other and god, you haven’t forgotten that other people are a very important part of your life (will sending time with his dad, you with P before she leaves. So many times I feel like peopel become so abosorbed in their relationships that they drift from family, the very first people who loved them (direct reference to my Bro). It’s sad and sometimes it hurts everyone’s feelings, but you guys are showing an honest effort to be happy when you’re together and when you’re apart.

Sorry to get all preachy, thanks for the comments. I’ve been selfish and turned my own phone off and just had the weekend (and maybe a few more days) to think things over, talk with Gary and pray that I’m going in the right direction with my life if all these things keep falling on my head. . . .Have an awesome Monday and take care!

I think it is totally healthy to want some apart time every once in a while!  Obviously, you will be ready for him to get home after a little bit, but I’m glad that you are looking forward to spending some sister time together.  I hope Will has a great and safe trip, and I hope that you and P have the best time together!

I don’t think it makes either of you bad spouses to be excited about doing those activities - it’s not like you’re thrilled to be away from the person cause you can’t stand them, rather it’s because you will both be doing really fun things while you are apart.  Have a great time with your sister, bonding and spending quality time together!  I hope Will has a blast, too!

That’s a super awesome Christmas present!

I always enjoy when DH goes away for work or whatever for a little while - it gives me a break to do whatever I want (!) and we enjoy each other that much more once he returns.

I hope you have fun with P and Will has fun at the game

I’d never scoff (heehee)!!  Seriously, the first few days are always the hardest, and I think we all go through that the same way.  One thing that I always wish for married people is not that they suffer the absences we do, but the reunions we get to have!!  It is really sweet of you to know how much this means to Will and to help make it possible.  I don’t see how that makes you a bad spouse.

Plus, all that time with P sounds awesome. Have lots and lots of fun!

Enjoy your time with your sister!  I know how you will feel with Will gone.  Jeremy has been gone during the week this whole summer but at least I get him on the weekends!  I wish my sister lived closer!  Only a few more weeks of this left and then I’m making him promise the next time he leaves for a while that I get to come too!  =)

I hope you have a fun time with your sister and just think how great it will be when Will comes back--You will be so happy to see him!

I am so glad that he is getting to come and spend time with his dad and the rest of his family.  You so often get to spend time with your family, that it will do him good to spend some time with them.  While he is here, tell him to come and see our new house.  Just have him call me or email me or something.  My cell is 583-5962.  He can at least get the pics and whatever else.  We are not too far from his parents, a couple of blocks behind Sullivan Village School.  Oh by the way, I have posted some pics on my myspace.  Love ya and miss ya.

Have so much fun with your sister! I don’t think being excited makes you guys bad spouses. I think it is perfectly healthy. I know I do enjoy my quiet time when Eli is out of town. Ususally by the 3rd day, I am crabby b/c he is gone but it is nice to have “me” time.

what a great early christmas present

no way! this makes you a great wife...you are clearly forgetting that YOU are the reason why he’s going on this super cool trip.

i just left LR in New Job City....i wonder if i could ask for some money for comfort clothes...hmmm......

That’s the spirit! In the great words of Carrie Bradshaw “Every once in awhile, a girl has to indulge herself.”

I really like your topic, “No Boys Allowed”. This made my day complete. Thank you so much!
