"First Wives Club" and "Monster_In-Law," anyone?!<BR/><BR/>He has been gone for for two and a half months for military training, and while it hasn't exactly been a vacation for him (or for me, truth be told), he has been the one to see movies, go out to eat and spend time with new found friends. The other day he told me he was actually thinking of getting a deep muscle massage! I don't mind his enjoying a few perks of being MIA from the familial duties, but boy do I have some catching up to do when he gets back!jubileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07924715623122612454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14194867.post-83002867419731509572007-10-18T10:18:00.000-08:002007-10-18T10:18:00.000-08:00In our family, I'm the one who goes off on the bus...In our family, I'm the one who goes off on the business trips.

Really.*<BR/><BR/>First of all, I most definitely won't let him read your list for fear he'll start demanding I wear makeup and bake him sweet treats, two things which rarely happen anymore - LOL! When I know that he will be gone, I stock my Netflix account full of romantic comedies and watch one after the other. I wish I could say having a bed to myself is great, but I have a toddler who still comes in for half the night. One of these days!<BR/><BR/>The best part of my husband returning home is how the kids go absolutely NUTS when he walks through the door.
