You know how your husband will be gone traveling for work or just putting in long hours on the job and he’s never around and you’re feeling like a single parent and you’re exhausted and tired of doing everything yourself and you are just wishing for him to be home so you can have some help?
But then he does come home and you’re like Holy shit, you are fucking up my routine and driving me a tiny bit crazy and can you just get out of the way and let me do things the way we normally do them?
Well, that’s a little bit how vacation has been so far.
I thought this was going to be a time for my husband and me to really come together and regroup and bond and, you know, make a ton of deposits, and that it would be relatively stress-free and everything would easily fall into place.
But I was wrong.
I’m finding I pretty much suck at spending time with my husband.
Because it’s always about the kids and if it’s not about that, it’s always about working.
It has literally been years since we have been around each other so much.
And we are totally out of sync.
So for week two of vacation, I’m gonna work on that.

My ex-boyfriend used to work out of town 4 days a week. On the 5th day, it would be awesome to see him, but shortly thereafter, I’d be annoyed that he was messing up my routines. I get where you’re coming from. Hope this week goes better for you!

You have stumbled upon the plight of a military wife!! It takes awhile for us to get back in sync after my husband gets home from being gone for months or weeks. But trust me, it’s better to adjust and have the time together as a family or couple than it is to have them gone.

YES!!! I feel like a horrible person when my husband comes back from a trip (where I missed him immensely and cried more than I’d admit), and I just want him to leave. Doesn’t he realize my system?! I finally aligned the stars and he just goes bowling into them (trying to be helpful and considerate). Marriage is a lot of (worthwhile) work. Thanks for blogging what your life really is and not just the sunshine and rainbows a lot of people post.
