Keeper

My husband and I spent a good part of the week apart.

And we reunited today.

He had taken a few days off to “get a ton of outside work done” at the cottage, but really he relaxed and enjoyed which he felt guilty about but I was overjoyed for him. This man deserves a break not only from work but from US. The kids. ME bossing him around. Some peace and quiet was well deserved.

 Well he missed me..Tremendously. He always does. I think that is so sweet. He texts me and tells me, and phones me and tells me and is so happy when I am back with him again chatting him up and talking about every detail of our lives. Never shutting up.

 He is sad tonight because I am not feeling very well…I think I am coming down with the flu. I find it so sweet that he misses me.

I spent the week catching up on work and realized if I were single I would be a serious workaholic. Three nights in a row I worked until wee into the night  for the company I work for because next week offsite part of week and have to get caught up (only taking breaks to talk with a girlfriend on the phone all 3 nights).

When I am alone or travel for business I am never lonely although I miss my Hubby too. I always use the time to catch up on stuff in a major way and enjoy the pace and no one telling me to go to bed. Maybe that is why I feel sick tonight-no sleep!

So for the next day and night Hubby and I took 2 days off and then back to our beautiful kids for the second part of weekend and might even venture out into the wilderness who knows?. Our plans have changed a few times and we are going with the flow-and I think I am getting sick and feel like crap, but the important thing is that we are together and love this alone time.

Our conversations of choice right now? Nope not travel! (we have already planned out 3 yrs of travel concretely for real) It is: “how to become successful empty nesters in about 10 years. There are things we can do now to prepare and we made a list since you can never be too prepared for the next decadeJ

Also we decided today neither of us will ever be able to retire, we love vacation but work is where we belong. Gotta figure out how to be a jetsetter until at least 90 yrs old…is it easy to get hired when you have a ventilor and wear diapers?

Anyways I love that even despite how crazy and what a planner I am –my husband still misses me and appreciates me so. And this time..both these ideas of conversations were HIS. Love that man.

He’s a keeper don’t you think?
