This week has been an interesting experience for me. Josh headed to Memphis for the week for work, I was stuck at home to fend for myself. I didn't think it would be hard, I figured it'd be lonely, but nothing I couldn't handle. We've been apart before and this is only a week...come on...easy right?! Well, let me tell you of what I've learned this week:
*I've decided I hate sleeping in a house by myself, especially when there are big wind storms. Little noises were extra loud when I am by myself. I kept waking up in the middle of the night worried that our big blow up Christmas decorations had blown down the street or something. Pathetic. Yes, I know.
*Not only do I not like sleeping in a house by myself, I don't like sleeping in a big bed by myself. Some people might think I'm crazy. But, I don't produce enough body heat to keep me warm on these cold winter nights. The extra body in the bed makes it just right. And it's always nice to cuddle! There was one good thing...I was able to eat popcorn in bed without anyone complaining about crumbs! I should probably shake out the blankets before he gets home! ;)
*I didn't get to talk to him as much as I would've liked to, he was busy, I was busy, yada yada. But I guess I just didn't realize how much I count on him for some of my emotional stability. That sounds bad...I don't go crazy without him, like need to go to a loony bin crazy or something. He just helps me stay grounded. He helps me "not think too much". Ha. Even though he would say I still think too much about stuff...but hey it could be worse.
*It made me realize how much better we are as people when we are with/surrounded by the ones we love. I am grateful that my family was close by and let me just drop in a few times so I didn't go crazy by my lonesome. They are amazing. My bro Kev was kind of nice to sleepover Thursday night to keep the monsters away for atleast one night.
I'm grateful that the week is almost over and on a plane tomorrow will be my husband to save me from myself.
Hey that's what he's there for right?! :)
I've missed him.
Awww so sweet!! I hear you though on the whole being in a house by yourself...you really do pysch yourself out! Happy for you that your week of lonesome is coming to an end!
