Up until a week ago, I really didn't think anything of my husband traveling. Then, in my circle of friends, and friends of friends, a few stories have surfaced about cheating husbands. Wow! My husband travels. Enough said. So, I looked at R and asked if he realized how scared he should be if he ever even considered such behavior...really scared. I gave him a few examples of what might come from the wrath of his wife. Enough said. I'm now back to not really thinking anything of my husband traveling.
There are some benefits to having a husband away. I have not watched the history channel, once. I have complete control to watch as many "Housewives" as I can fit into an evening. I clean up my bedroom, and it remains clean. I don't hear any comments about the laundry...whether they be spoken directly to me or uttered under breath. As long as my kids can find a pair of undies with their favorite character on them, everybody's happy. I can go lighter on the cooking. I do cook for my 3 kiddies, but I create a kid-friendly menu...the path to the least resistance. So, it's less cooking, and as an added benefit, less whining. I shop. It's silly really, because the money all comes from the same place, but I somehow don't feel quite as accountable when R can't visibly see the shopping bags come and go. I don't go crazy, because I don't want anyone else to go crazy when they should return. But, I have a little fun. And, when cooking kid-friendly food is not that appetizing, and you have to pick up your daughter from swim team at 5pm and be out the door for Enrichment at 6pm, I might do a little drive-thru dinner. It's only fair. And besides, El Pollo Loco is no comparison to Morton's Steak House. Dear R, go ahead and text me to help you decide which $50 steak you should order. And which delicious dessert will best finish off your delicious meal. But just know that we are headed on over to El Pollo Loco to place our order. And, we might even order a Foster's Freeze chocolate coated cone. A cone for everyone. So there!
