Stop feeling sorry for yourself

Its really hard sometimes to have your spouse call you after being gone for a few days or weeks and tell you they are going out to the bar or a hockey game. When you have been sitting around waiting for them to call so you can tell them about your day or your night.
But guess what they have been out with all the same men on a small boat cooped up...(you know as woman if we did this there would already be someone bitch slaped, lots of whinning, and maybe someone thrown over board.) We can at least get off the couch and drive to the store to get a fountian pop. So let it go its ok. They need some free time too. But don't set around and feel sorry for yourself. Get out and do what you want to do. Life does have to go on with them underway. It is ok to feel jelous though but quik get over it and do something you like too. =)

Underway

It has been a long time since that boat has sailed. And this week it will be gone once again for god knows how long. But sadly I am looking forward to it. It has been 2 months that it was in the yards. Two long and stressful months. I know you must think that I am a bad wife for saying that i am glad to see my husband leave. I hate to see him leave but love to see him go....! I don't mean it in an ugly way.

But he has been gone so much in the last 6 years that I am used to having my own time and doing things my own way. I wonder sometimes when he retires if we will just been on eachothers nerves. I am sure we will. You always know in my house when it is about time for the boat to leave cause the irritation sets in. We are at eachothers throats.

So the day the boat actually leaves my entry will be all sad probably cause it takes a day or two for the kids and I to get into our routine. And don't think i wont be happy when he comes home either its like a little honeymoon... Laughing....

I guess maybe I should also mention that this boat is only gone about a week at time. Just long enough to actually get used to then he comes home for a week. Again just long enough to get used to then gone again. I tell ya its a crazy life.

Realize

As I was cleaning the garage today. I was thinking about where I grew up and how my kids won't grow up there. Or anyplace for that matter that they can say oh yeah I lived there my whole life. But then i guess maybe it would be cool for a kid to name all the places they have lived. I try and remember when I was young. It was long ago but I still try. Laughing at myself with my layered socks right now.
