After five days, let me observify:
- I never really enjoyed being single when I was single. It’s even worse being single when I’m married.
- Do you think my mother would be annoyed if I brought her my laundry?
- This is the longest I’ve gone without being around the Gem. Sad. (Don’t worry, I have tissues right here).
- I eat a lot of junk food when the Mrs. is around. Double that when she’s gone.
- On a positive note, there is something exciting about being free to do whatever I want. (Actually, the excitement wore off about three and half days ago, but it was nice while it lasted).
- I’m still trying to figure out what I’m going to do for meals for the next nine days. I mean, I love McDonald’s and all, but three times a day for nine days is a little much. Maybe I’ll throw an Arby’s visit in here and there.
- Another positive note: I don’t have to clean for two full weeks. (Which is not unusual, it’s just that for these two weeks I don’t have to feel guilty about not cleaning).
- Now that I think about it, maybe my neighbors will invite me over for dinner (although hopefully that dinner isn’t laced with some sort of drugs).
- Once you have kids, life is incredibly boring without them.
- On video chat I told Holden I was sad I didn’t get to read to him at nights. His response, “Well, that’s just the way it has to be.” (Considering his time in “timeout” goes way down when I’m not around, I think he’s more than content giving up the occasional bedtime story).
- No but really, what do I do if my mom won’t do my laundry?
- Another observation: This Mrs. thinks I don’t like to be told what to do, which is true on the surface. However, this week I’ve realized that deep down I do like to be told what to do, otherwise I just walk around the house eating candy and wondering what I should do next.
- I sure do miss them.
