So, when you get married, you think it's going to be so great to get to see this man everyday and spend time with him for the next, I don't know, 100 years. And it is great, when you actually get to see each other and have an adult conversation. Robert has been working so much lately it's like we say "Hi" to each other in the bathroom while brushing our teeth, and then we go to bed. I miss him.
You know, as SAHMs, our husbands work really hard to provide for our families so that we can stay home with the kiddos. I really appreciate EVERYTHING that Robert does for our family, and believe me I know he would rather be at home with us. But that still doesn't change the fact that he is at work... a lot!
So, he has the day off tomorrow (shocker). However, he has to go in for a "mandatory" meeting in the morning.... argggghh!! And April is pretty much a goner for us because the other manager that works with him is having surgery (out for 10 days), and then having a baby (out for 7 days). Maybe if we are lucky Robert might get one day off in there.
So today, I have called him about 17 times. You know to say, "Hey Addison just burped!" or something rather insignificant like that.

Hey Amanda I know how you feel. My husband works 10 hours a day then we own our own landscaping company. He is rarely ever here. My 3 yr old ask me tonight "why do you always take care of us, why can't Daddy do it instead?" This was right after she got in trouble of course.
ReplyDeleteDanny and I haven't had a conversation about somethng other than kids, work, or money in so long I think we have forgotten how.
I feel your pain man. That is going to be sad when she starts talking and says things like that. Robert will be heartbroken! But, someone's gotta' "bring home the turkey bacon"
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I wish that my husband only worked 10 hours a day or had a day or two off a week. I am married to a farmer, he works 7 days a week. The only good thing about it, is that he works for his family farm and if something important comes up it is easier for him to get off, and he don't have to submit a request. But it would still be nice to have some one on one time with my husband.
