Heart on my sleeve

I'll admit it, I'm effing lonely. My husband works his "dream" job that takes him away from his family on a regular, very regular basis. I've been couped up in this house for days with a sick sick baby and I'm actually happy that he's finally getting tubes so that these ear infections (which in 2 short months have already caused moderate scar tissue.) Really, I'm happy that my son is having surgery, that's just twisted. Said ear infections have definitely strained my marriage. I mean seriously do I really want to have sex after being up all night with a baby? I think not. Not to mention here in SC when we get winter weather life shuts down and due to aforementioned winter weather I haven't seen my husband in 36 hours plus...which just downright sucks.

Sorry it's been rough for you. That's no good. Take a listen to my music player on my blog..."It won't be like this for long" by Darius Rucker is a good one to remind you of how fast time moves. I hope Dawson's ears get better with tubes.

Oh mandie I am so sorry hun! I hope those tubes make dawson feel better and then you and the hubbs will feel better. I know it is hard to be away from the hubbs because of his work, but girl you are one of the elite that can say a true hero sleeps in your bed!!

I can't imagine what that is like! I get lonely when Bryan is at work for just 8 hours. I hope things get easier. I can understand how you feel about being glad Dawson is having surgery. I know you are worried but at the same time I'm sure you are relived that he won't have to suffer anymore.

Oh poor little Dawson! I'm sorry he has to have surgery, but I'm sure glad that will make him feel better. Hopefully things can settle down for you soon - a happy baby definitely can make for a happier household. I've noticed when the baby is upset or cranky, we tend to feel edgier too.

That's definitely true! I feel like I've been on edge for days now, well weeks actually.

I'm sorry!! Life with a workaholic husband does get lonely. I'm lucky mine is at least in bed at night, but I know there are girls who are alone for 10-day business trips. SUCKS!!
