It gets a little draining after awhile- you know the part when the other half of you is gone and is just coming home for the weekends. There are lots of things that are just hard to do over the phone- and we're both swamped with responsibilities on both ends. And you know when you talk on the phone and are getting bugged because the one your talking to seems a bit "off" and you think your not connecting well, but really the other person is just sick- physically, but also drained from being apart and the issues he has to deal with also?
So I have had 3 lovely kids to deal with and the parenting issues that come up there. As well as the craziness of having our house show ready and getting the kids and the dog out as needed. ( and for those who know me well know I'm really not an animal person.)And he is subletting a room in an apt. and has a roommate. Poor Richard is sleeping on an air mattress that he has to blow up about every 3rd day. He took a camp chair to sit on. He calls his room his jail cell. He's not eating well- just doesn't feel like putting effort into it. He is a sample of his daily meals- pop tarts for breakfast, for lunch hot dogs from the gas station ( because really, I guess who can pass up 2 hot dogs for a buck!) and dinner is 1 1/2 peanut butter sandwiches ( no jelly, just pb) and some microwaveable single serving of mac and cheese ( or something like that)
Needless to say we are both waiting for when we will all be together as a family- and that is just a few weeks away. If all goes as planned we will be leaving the Buff early August. I'm still not sure how to say good bye???
And so it goes...

Being apart from your husband is so hard! My husband travels a lot for work, and I can relate to the phone conversations where things are just off.
Glad to hear you will be together soon! We are sad to see you go.
I love you Sweetheart. Can't wait till this is all behind us (I like the part where I'm your "other half")
