When My Husband Comes Home

My husband comes home tomorrow. After 3 weeks I am ready. After today, more than ready. Did I mention I am sick? While I settle into a routine while he is gone, I count the days until he returns to us and I no longer have to be the one in charge. Here is a list of some things I will do when my husband comes home.

1. I'll give him a great big kiss, then curl up in bed with a book and eat the good German chocolate he's bringing home to me while he takes the kids anywhere, I don't really care where, just go.

2. I"ll no longer load ALL 5 kids in the van to drop just 1 of them off at an activity somewhere. I can send my husband or better yet, I'll go and leave the kids at home with him.

3. I'll start being creative and actually cook some real meals. Sorry kids, no more chicken nuggets, Top Ra men or Mac 'n Cheese dinners.

4. I won't be caught running barefoot in the ice or snow, frantically racing the garbage man to the end of the driveway because I forgot it was trash day. That'll be his job.

5. I'll no longer worry about the passing ice and snow storms. Let the power go out. My man knows how to start up the generator.

6. I'll explain when he asks me why the furniture is rearranged that he knows better to leave me more than a few days. Hey, at least I didn't buy any more or paint for that matter.

7. When I'm tired I can just say, "Go ask your dad."

8. I'll thank him. Because serving his country and helping those in need is a big deal. And so is being a terrific husband and awesome dad!.

Welcome home honey, I love you!
