My husband is in the middle of a huge changeover to their email/network systems/etc. at work. He had to work most of the weekend and has been working late for I don't know how many days, tonight included.
On the one hand, I'm irritated that he's not here. I definitely need his help and like him being around.
On the other hand, it has helped me to have a greater appreciation for him. I notice the things that he usually does that aren't getting done...like laundry. I'm also thankful that my husband doesn't have to do a lot of traveling or that he isn't in the military.
I guess I'm just not the type of mom that likes to "do it on my own." Nope, not my style. I like the help.
It probably doesn't help that I'm pregnant and experiencing morning sickness, which for me appears in the morning and then in the early evening...blah.
I know it isn't Chris' fault but I'll be very happy when our schedule gets back to normal!
thanks for listening to me complain,
---pregnant and cranky

I agree completely, Lori. My husband has been gone the past 3 evenings painting in our new home before we move in this weekend. I hate having him gone. By 6:00 (sometimes even 4:00), I'm ready for back-up support, someone to just take over some of the work that goes on around here. I would have a very hard time if he were gone more often. Hooray for hubbies! Good luck! The first trimester STINKS!
It is hard when husbands are gone. I am a big complainer when Jon has to be gone, just ask him he will tell you! I had a hard time when Jon got called into Young Men's because I knew he would be gone one night a week and sometimes for campouts, but he loves his calling so I am glad for that. Good luck and I hope things get back to normal real soon. I hope your morning sickness doesn't last too long! !
