Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder

Yesterday, my hubs left for a business trip. The day or two before he left, I was experiencing quite a bit of anxiety. This is the first time I have been alone with our son both day and night.

However, I am proud to say Dustin and I survived our first night without Daddy. Sleeping was not hard and I felt rested this morning, even though Dustin got up at the crack of dawn. *yawn* Usually, I get up around 7 AM and Rob takes care of our son in the morning while he is getting ready for work. Since Rob was not home, I assumed "we" would sleep until 8 AM. WRONG!

On an average night, I sleep with ear plugs because it is noisy in our bedroom something like a combination of jackhammers and buzz saws. Since I was alone, I decided to forgo the ear protection because I wanted to be able to hear the baby just in case. *yawn* That is how I ended up awake at the crack of dawn.

Although I am functioning quite well in Hub's absence, I miss his presence and all he contributes to our household. Rob is a wonderful father and husband. He takes charge *yawn* of our son's care when he gets home at night, giving me a break from a long day of snot and diapie patrol. Being a modern family, I am proud and thankful of our equality and shared responsibilities.

This weekend I am spending with my parents, not because I cannot handle the 24 hr job or loneliness, but because they are fabulous cooks and enjoy having their grandson around. They want to make sure that Dustin and I do not starve while Rob is gone because I do not like to cook. *yawn* Thanks, Mom and Dad.

Hopefully, I will get a nap soon and my next post will have a lot less yawning. :)
