Home Alone...
LOL...not the movie, but it's about me. These past 3 nights I've been home alone...it feels weird to come home from the gym, and Eric isn't there. Eric's been shifted to work in Texas for the next 3 weeks, and he's coming home this Friday for the weekend. I'm so used to seeing him sitting there waiting for me on the couch, eating the dinner I made for him, or even looking at his side of the bed is hard. However, I've been blessed with great friends who call me, check on me, and make sure I'm doing okay...even my MIL is making sure I lock the doors at night. My gym friends make sure I attend spin class, and motivate me to work out. I have dinner plans with a bunch of friends tonight, so I'm not stuck eating spaghetti again like I have for the past 3 nights.
I'm sad and not sad at the same time...it's a nice break to not cook, but I love cooking for the hubby and me. I love having the bed to myself, but it's not as warm as it should be. I don't miss living by myself, this just makes me appreciate my husband so much more. 
Re: Home Alone...
I know the feeling!
DH is out of town a lot. He's gone now. I did get the unfortunate news that he may have to go to China for a little over a month. I am not thrilled.
Sometimes i like when he's gone because I can catch up on a lot of stuff, most of the time, I hate it. Gotta pay the bills though!
I can't handle being home alone for more than 3 days. It gets so lonely!
Hang in there girl I will be there next week to keep you company.
I can't even handle being away from Joe for ONE night. I can't imagine how you feel Krystal!
The part where you said your "gym friends" made me smile because I thought it seems just like you to make friends everywhere you go. Enjoy your hubby when he gets home!
i'm home alone too! and i feel like i'm getting sick, and need TJ to make me some of his yummy soups. being sick is even less fun when you don't have anyone around to hear you complain LOL
TJ is gone in phoenix this week, chicago next week and then phoenix again the week after.
it is giving me a chance to work my butt off, though, to try to make some extra $$ for the end of the year. i don't feel as guilty working late when he isn't home waiting on me. would much rather have him here though, i miss him!
I'm sorry!
I don't enjoy it when Steve goes out of town either. We haven't really spent a whole lot of time apart - we're lucky to have had jobs that don't require travel and I've been able to go with him to his baseball tournaments.
He's getting ready to go out of town to do a job and should be gone for 2 weeks. That's the longest we've been apart ever and I'm not looking forward to it. But, the money makes it totally worth it.
Nami - you're right about this, I kinda do make friends everywhere I go. My gym friends are awesome, it's like having a goal-oriented family at the gym. I'm totally excited about tomorrow, I can't wait to see the hubby. I really do miss him.
