*sigh*
Today isn't going as well as I had hoped.
My test didn't go very well. I'm nervous to see my grade. And I found out that H is apparently going to be traveling a lot more frequently now. Yay. Well, guess this week gave me a good taste of what my life will be like from now on!
Trying to stay positive so I'm not in a bummed out mood when H gets home later.

Bio
This is true. However this time I know I didn't do as well as I wanted because I'm the type that goes directly to my car afterwards and looks up all the questions I was unsure of. I counted at least 5 I know for sure I got wrong.
Sorry about your test. That is a bummer.
On the H front, here are my thoughts and you can hate them if you want! I am sure it is not fun to have him traveling so often, but really embrace the alone time you have. Do things you like, but he really doesn't, pick up a hobby, get together with girlfriends. Basically, just do you!
Agreed. Although, I'm sure that this is easier said than done. I'm sure if Brad started traveling for work I would feel the same way as you. There's no win/win here.
Thanks ladies! Your advice is well received and appreciated!
Understood, but I can with 100% honesty say that I would love a little more alone time in my own house. Maybe not full weeks, but I wouldn't scoff at a few days!
It was nice to have some alone time, I won't lie.
I think what bothered me was I had talked to him a few nights ago and he told me his boss was talking about sending him to a bunch of major cities, (I.e. NYC, Chicago, Atlanta, etc) to talk to chefs about how they can lower their costs and he said I would be able to go with him. So, I thought that was cool and got excited about that.
Well today when I talked to him, he said he and another guy were now going. Which, obviously means he won't be taking me. Kind of disappointed me. Not to mention, neither of us have been to a lot of those major cities, and we had planned to take trips to them in the next several years, and I was looking forward to experiencing those things together for the first time.
Now he's going to experience it all for the first time without me. I know that sounds dumb, but ultimately, that's what has me bummed out.
I don't think that's dumb, I would be really bummed about that too!
Bio Good Times
This is so not dumb! This is the main reason I won't travel with some of my girlfriends. I don't want to go experience a new place without Brad; it won't be as fun.
When I went to Orlando for a Reading Teachers conference the other teacher I went with wanted to go to the parks and such and didn't understand when I said that I didn't want to go without DH. Some people don't understand.
It gets easier, but I'm not gonna lie, there are days that suck and you just want your DH to be home with you. I hope it gets easier for you.
The homecomings are pretty awesome though!
Sorry to hear about your test too. I bet you still did pretty good.
I agree with Lacy! Try to stay positive and know that you always have all of us!
I talked to him about it and he said I can still go, but everything is so up in the air right now.
And Crystal, I don't work. I'm a full time student so it would just be a matter of missing class. Which-I am not one to miss class. Ever. So it may be one of those things where he goes and then flies me down on the weekend and we see the city. Who knows!
I just wanted to offer another perspective. He will be working while he is away. There will be plenty of things he won't get to see or do. Even if you don't get to go, the two of you will still get to experience those cities together for the first time. Does that make sense?
