I didn't exactly finish this blog-I think I just came up with the fork you and then forgot I had more to write. Excitement over a fork-silly.
One of the other parts that comes with your spouse deploying is loneliness. Plain and simple your life gets lonely. Or at least mine did. In my world, I married Doug because he was my best friend, the person who I like to find trouble with, find God with, sleep through movies as he watches them with, talk to about everything-seriously as soon as something happens he is the first person I want to tell, not talk to as soon as I wake up because I don’t talk in the morning, sit next to as I blog-you get the point. One of the best parts of marriage is you have a full time companion. Someone to do stuff with!
Now that I’m a housewife/stay-at-home Mom that companion thing is even more so important. My day is literally planned around Walker first and foremost and then Doug. I take care of Walker all day and then do millions of chores/errands so when Doug walks through the door-there is less to do and more time for us to spend together. I really enjoy it. Now instead of on the weekends me talking him into cleaning a bathroom and playing rock-paper-scissors for who gets to clean the big bathroom-we look at each other and ask ‘what do you WANT to do’? That is sooooo nice! (BTW we still totally play rock-paper-scissors for diaper changes….though Doug looses. Instead of putting out two fingers for scissors like he intended-he put one out….the game is rock-paper-scissors…not make up your own weapon-you lose! Lol….)
But without my companion-it may seem like I’m just cleaning and recleaning and recleaning a house with no fun in sight!!!!! No 6 o’clock to look forward to. Because no one is coming through that door to play rock-paper-scissors with me and laugh at Walker’s new antics.
So I think I may take to traveling this spring. (Walker and Hope coming to a town near you-possibly.) The only commitements I have here are my reserve duty and bible study. My reserve duty I may be able to take on the road once we figure out how to hook the CAC reader so I can work from home (or your home). Bible study-I can’t give that up-because I’m leading it-eeeek! (That is another post subject, woah nelly there!) But none the less those are Wed and Thurs and then my one weekend a month. So maybe Thursday night through Tuesday nights I’ll be a traveling gnome (with a baby gnome of course…).
Fork you loneliness-I shall not sit at home and be bored and lonely. Rock-paper-scissors-lets see where Walker and Hope end up!!!!
