My husband left Sunday for a week long trip to Georgia. He has been gone overnight, but never a week. I found myself teary eyed when he left. My family and friends all say how much of a "strong" woman I am. I did not know how dependant on my husband I was until he left. Mom was right you don't miss your water until your well runs dry. I am ok with managing the house and getting the boys ready for school. The problem I have is the fact that my security is gone. I could fall asleep with my husband home in a heartbeat. I am so restless now. I hear every crack and squeak. I thought Bruno would be help. I was wrong. I guess he views me the same way I view my husband.

I needed a short term fix to my problem. I called my niece, who goes to college locally and still lives at home. I asked her to come spend a week with us. To my surprise she said yes. I still do not have the security I would if my husband were here, but I feel better with another adult-like person in the house.
