Sometimes it just isn't fair............

Okay.........time to bang the highchair (as my husband would say)!

I get all excited and nervous about moving my family to Germany and here I am........still in the US. Guess where the husband is for 3 weeks? Germany!!!! Just not fair!
I'm sure he's busy and doesn't have much time for sight seeing and such and he sure sounded tired today......(Get some sleep Honey if you are reading this). But he's not here, taking out the trash, fixing the meals and washing the dishes, washing the clothes, putting away the clothes, cutting the grass (it is Spring), taking the kids to activities and to and from school, and all the other million things that go on in everyday life here.......Oh wait a minute, most of those things I do anyway. Just a few of "the man" jobs are now my job while "the man" is away. Can you guess which ones?
So while my husband is dining out for every meal, sending his clothes to the drycleaners to be washed, walking around Frankfurt Germany or where ever his travels may take him........I only can hope that he is wishing we were there to share in the moment with him. Missing the sounds of 3 young children arguing over who's going to take their shower first, whinning because they don't want to go to bed at 9pm, and don't forget the mysterous silence when they are out of sight which when found they have managed to ransack a room and cause total distruction! I couldn't imagine not seeing them running around me asking me a million questions. I would feel lonely.

So while my husband is out being a worldly traveler, I guess it is me who is the lucky one after all.
I get to gaze at the angelic faces of the kids while they sleep (of course they take turns camping out in my bed while dad is gone) and it is me who gets all the hugs and kisses, and it is me who gets to go to Philadelphia for a day of adventure with the kids! I am the lucky one...........I am blessed. I mean that, no sarcasim. I am blessed with 3 happy, healthy children and a husband in Germany missing us.
But that eating out and laundry service sure does sound nice............. Love you honey!!! Come home safely.
