Since September of this year, DH has gone back to school for his MBA. The program that he is enrolled in, gives him the flexibility to work full-time during the week and attend all his classes on Saturday. Pretty neat. The only downside… he has to fly to LA to attend his classes. So he flys out Sat morning and is back by Sat night. Not bad at all. Hey… I just have to drop him off and pick him up at the airport, he is the one who has to do the studying! But since the start of Nov, idiotic United decided to stop their Sat morning flight. So he is forced to fly out Fri night… which means I get to spend Fri night alone! :( :(
So Saturdays are “me” days. I get to do what I want, when I want. No cooking. No having to feed DH. No responsibilities. Nothing. Cool… right? For the first couple of weeks, I watched a bunch of chick flicks (something he hates to do). The next week, I went window shopping (DH hates shopping. period). The week after that, I just slept through the whole day. After that, I caught up with some girlfriends over lunch. One week I finished a book that I had been putting off. I know… I am lucky! It has been amazing! Sometimes, I do feel guilty abt enjoying so much when DH is in class studying hard… but hey… he was the one who wanted to go to school.
Last night, when I dropped the hubs off at the airport, I was sad. I didn’t want him to go… but I didn’t tell him. I just didn’t want to spend the night alone. I know… lame… I guess I was riding a crescent with my hormonal craziness. But, I managed to get some sleep last night and I am doing better today. I do have some work stuff that I have to take care of today (Yuck!). But after that, I am on my own… ha… I think I might just catch some zzzz after lunch today. Life is good! No…. Life is awesome!
Oh BTW, I am not thinking abt HPTs. I am going to obey DH’s orders. I am not thinking abt HPTs. I am going to obey DH’s orders. I am not thinking abt HPTs. I am going to obey DH’s orders.
I am hoping that if I keep saying this I might actually follow through! Fingers crossed! :)
**** EDITED TO ADD ****
Wow… after I posted this, I went back to look at my previous posts and just realized that this is the first psuedo-positive post in such a loong time. Dang! My life is not that bad. At least I hope not. Gulp!
I’m sure it is hard having your hubby away for 24 hours. The “me” time is good, but couple time is great too. Sounds like you have been making the most of it though. Enjoy your day!!
Me time is great – too much sucks like anything else!! You are amazing and I will be so impressed if you stay away from the hpts.
I’m glad you are in better spirits:) Have a nice lazy day, you deserve it!
I can understand not wanting to be alone…me time is good occassionally, but so is ‘us’ time. My husband is getting ready to leave for a month–YIKES. That’s way too much ‘me’ ‘in my head’ time.
Oh, and glad you are obeying DHs orders and NOT thinking about HPTs.

-ICLW! (I’ll be back!)
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
Enjoy all that me time. Hopefully, you won’t get anymore nine months from now (at least for a while).
I’m sure being by yourself makes it harder to stay away from HPTs. . . But your not thinking about those anyway. Right?
too much of a good thing is not always good. :( who wants to eat ice cream every day? ok…well, i do, but you know what i mean!
i don’t even like HPTs anymore. Have not done one in over a year. Just don’t like the possibility of being saddened or depressed. Be good and don’t take one, listen to DH.
:)
You are soooo good. I could not wait to POAS. You are a good wife. Hang in there!
It is awful hard not thinking about hpts (even when you’re already pregnant…) I hope the time without your hubs goes by so fast that you don’t even realize he’s gone. Here from ICLW.
Oh my stars what a sticky situation. I have no advice but I tested when I really didn’t want too …it was 3yrs ago today.
Dear Lord, Please give “peace” and patience at this time. Cover her in your hedge of protection and give her the ability to withstand the pressure and get through to the beta sanity intact and DH obeyed.
Fill her with your strength so that she may get through each day, knowing You are there with her every step of the way. I pray for her comfort in knowing You are in control. Amen.
