Dave and I spent way too much time together. We got on each others' nerves a lot. A lot. We argued. We tried to escape to opposite corners of the house. And then he suddenly got a job offer last week, which he accepted. And then on Sunday, he left to go to Chicago for a training class that would last all week. I realize now... I miss him so much. I'm sure it's good for us to have time apart. It's just been a shock not having him around at all. Not here at night, so I don't sleep well. The kids miss him--they've had Daddy home for months now to do what they want! Not here when it's storming and the wind is blowing too hard. Not here when I can't open a jar or when I can't figure out a computer-related problem. Not here to back me up when the kids won't listen--although I did manage to "conjure" him up on Skype this evening and through "video conferencing," Zack managed to get the clue and he cleaned up his toys. Yes, when he gets home on Friday, I'll be ever so thankful and happy. And I realize now, if we are ever in that situation again, when we're both forced to be at home together a lot, we just need to make a point to each get out and away for a day or so. Give each other some breathing room and have more to talk about than financial issues. It's important. And I love him. Sooooo much.
