First day...and I'm lonely!

[DianaB]

Angie, I'm sure that the right job will come along. Since you have extra time right now why don't you plan some special candlelight suppers? That will keep you busy and you can still be excited about Brendon's return. Enjoy this time because soon enough you'll be busy again.

Marilyn, I can just picture you in a tree looking for your husband to turn the corner or on the front porch railing!!! How cute!!! I can't see my husband coming home but I always listen for his pickup.

I think it's just wonderful you all love your hubbies so much and miss them. I can't remember the last time I wanted mine to come home....LOLOL

Awww Angie, there isn't anything wrong with you. You just love him! I've been married 20 years (next month) and I still get a thrill when Kenny walks through the door. He's working 2 jobs now and I HATE it so much....I see him for 15 minutes a day. I live for the weekends now because he's home. I hope you never lose that "missing him" feeling when you are apart.

As for the job, take it one day at a time. Don't stress about what will happen after graduation. There isn't anything you can do about it, so don't drive yourself crazy. Everything works out. Maybe not exactly how you expected it to, but it works out.
{{{hugs}}}

Thanks Teri. I heard that Kenny is having a hard time. Give him a hug from me and Brendon!

I'm sorry that you have so little time together right now. I think you deserve a picnic in the park, just the two of you, the very next day he has off! You two make me smile. It's so easy to tell that you are still madly in love. You'll make it through this difficult time and be even stronger because of it. *Hugs*

Terri's advice is right on. Things have a way of working out no matter how much we worry. You'll be fine, Angie.

I am so worried about this. i hate when my hubby works night shift at the job he has now. He will be starting where Brendon and i work on the twelth, but he will be working night shift while i work days. there is no way we could afford daycare for the four kids and still survive so this was our only option. now, When I walk in, he will leave. I'm so worried about how being apart will affect our marriage.

There's little things that you can do to let him know that you love him, even if you only see him briefly. Leave little notes all over the house for him. Put one on his pillow, on the bathroom mirror, in the shower, in the refrigerator, and in one of his clothes drawers. You can leave little gifts but notes are so cheap and easy to do. If you have any time where you can be together then enjoy your time together. You and he can do your chores when you're not together. You'll think of some little things to do, I'm sure. Use your imagination!!

Most of my growing up years my Mom worked 3-11 and Dad worked 11-7. Mom and Dad had those few hours in the morning when we went to school for themselves. I watched my sisters and brothers (once I got old enough) from 3-7. Families seem to work it out. I hope you find your special few hours together.

Mine works so hard here that when he sits down to watch tv after dinner, he falls asleep so I'm by myself anyway! (Well, except for the dogs, of course. Thank God for them.)

I can't make him a special dinner tonight because my sister has a ballet performance and has to be at school at 5, but I will definitely do that for tomorrow!
