I miss my hubby!

I realize that I am posting back-to-back, but they are two completely different topics.

This house is so empty without Glynn. I hate it. I do realize how lucky we've been that we haven't had to be separated more than we have in the past few years, but somehow, that doesn't make it any easier. I think we each have our level of things that we can and can't tolerate. Or will and won't, I suppose.

I won't tolerate being without my husband.


Navy or no Navy, it's not something that is an option for us. We don't like being without each other. I suppose I shouldn't speak for Glynn, but I'm pretty sure it's mutual. (I hope?)

As I type, he's working on finding a flight back for the weekend.

He's in Millington, Tennessee right now. This is the same trip he took the month AFTER we got married, and I flew down for the weekend that time in 2005. That was the time that we got to visit Graceland (all hail Elvis!) and see the sights of Memphis. We also got to visit the Peabody hotel and watch the ducks parade out of the fountain. It's a sight, I tell you. Who was to know that a few years later, we would get to STAY at the Peabody hotel in Little Rock and watch the ducks parade INTO the fountain? Funny how that works.

I know he's miserable too, not only because he's away from the family but because he's working. With some pretty dull people too, I gather. Poor guy.

I've been spending a LOT of time resting. A LOT. Megan has been an absolute godsend, she's been so much help lately. I've really been able to rest properly this time and she's a big part of that.

I've been sequestering myself in our bedroom. I find that if I just get into my nest in our bed, I'm much less likely to get distracted and find something else to do. Plus I'm so comfortable that I get some sleep. The upside of all of this? I've found that with the proper amount of rest, the permanent bags under my eyes have disappeared! I look.....almost.... rested. *gasp!* I've discovered the fountain of youth! Even the fine lines around my eyes look better! My skin looks great! Who needs botox, right?


Hmmmm. Maybe there's something to this rest thing after all. Considering that I haven't had a full night's sleep in over 3 years, I'm shocked at how much younger sleeping makes me look.

But I'm not optimistic about ever sleeping like this again. Just ask my mom. She says that after you have children, your good nights' sleeping is gone for good. Even when they're grown and gone. And THEN she says you start worrying about grandchildren and don't sleep well.

But I'm going to enjoy this while I can. And I really am feeling a bit better with all the resting.

I can't wait to post about something OTHER than my health problems. It's like I've turned into a little old man bitching about his ailments overnight. Ha! I guess I could fit in at the coffee shop now, right Dad?

Back to my original topic, I can't wait to see my hubby again. He's the best. I really don't know how I got so lucky. I'm not trying to paint some fairytale picture, nobody's relationship is perfect, but I think it's the non-perfect moments that make us closer. Knowing that there's nothing we can't get through together is a constant comfort. And knowing that no matter how difficult I can be, he still loves me. Nothing can compare to that.
