Alaska: Day 8

The left overs are sitting on the hutch needing to be put away.

The children are sleeping in my room.

The radio plays quietly and I am on this thing that they call the "internet".

I don't know if it's the mood or not, but it seems like everything I am reading is "doomsday-ish" and I don't like it one bit.

Two hunters killed in Alaska by a bear while hunting.

A plane crashes in another part of the world.

and the list goes on and on and on.

I shouldn't be on here you know, I should be putting away the left-overs, picking up the house from a busy weekend. I should be getting ready for a busy day at school, but nope, I'm on here, getting freaked out by bad news.

Oh yeah, and by the way, my husband said that he would call me around 9, and it's already 9:45pm. IF only I wouldn't have been reading the news!

The time that I have been away from my husband for this very short amount of time has been good for me. I have learned a lot about myself. That I need to not be so melodramatic and that I just need to handle it that he's gone. And I have done pretty well with it.

It's the distance that has been the hardest. I hate the distance. You know, if he was just 10 hours away in another state it would "feel" different, less strange. But he's there and I am here and it's just so.... DULL without him here!

Life is so much nicer with his spice around. I'll call him Se*xy Spice. ;-)

Hopefully soon he'll call and we'll chat for an hour and it will be utterly delightful. The phone calls from him have been scrumptious, I have just loved talking to him every night. It almost feels like we are dating again.....

I can't wait for Wednesday to come, I can't wait for the colors to be vibrant again.

Oh and by the way, I'm so glad that I am still this in love with my husband after all these years. :D I have been in love with him now for almost 18 years....EECK!! :)
