Who is this strange man that these kids are calling daddy?

So here I sit. The kids are coloring and actually not fighting for a few minutes. I have soup on the stove ( see lower blogs) and there is no sign of the husband and I have no idea when I am going to see him.

I guess I should be used to it, he works in heating and air and we live in a place where both are essential. With the recent cold snap, he leaves the house at 6:30am and usually doesn't return until 7:30 am the next morning. Just in time for me to go off to work. He comes home, sleeps for 8 hours and then he goes back out there. Just in time for me to come home. We are like 2 ships passing in the night or morning.

Now, this is not all the time. Earlier in the winter it was so warm he was sitting home. I have decided that I like him working instead of telling me what was on Regis and Kelly when I get home from work. I like the paychecks too. There is just something about being able to go into Target and be able to purchase things.

I just miss him. We have so much fun together. Now I'm blue.
