I am excited about tomorrow and dreading the thought of it at the same time. For the first time in the (almost) three months of our marriage I will be spending the night without Pat. I am heading to Birmingham to house/dog sit for my Aunt Joy and Pat is not available to come until Thursday night =( I'm not quite brave enough to stay in her big ole house alone so I have summoned my good friend Ariel to come along with me. I am excited to shop and hang out and eat good food and have girl time BUT the thought of crawling into bed and not having my hubs to snuggle with is kinda weirddd. SO in order to take my mind off of missing him we have have plans to hit up:
I think this is a good coping strategy! Ok all you married people... was your first night without your hubby a little weird?
I can't remember my first night without my husband, but we've been married for 7 years and I dread not being with him when it's time to go to bed. He's been out of town since yesterday and not coming back until tomorrow. I am missing my Alex. :-(
ReplyDeleteYes! I had to fall asleep with a romantic comedy on and make the dog sleep in the bed with me. haha! Have fun with shopping and girl time!
ReplyDeleteI have NEVER liked it when Dad was gone. It wasn't AS bad when you guys were little and we could all crawl in the bed together and snuggle and read, etc. OR even having little Chloe Dog with me was okay. BUT NOW I have none of that so if I have to sleep by myself I hate it---mainly because I don't have anywhere to stick my feet to get them warm--so they stay cold all night!! UGH!! :)))))
ReplyDeleteShep is gone for two weeks at a time for work and it totally STINKS!!! It never ever ever gets easier. :(
ReplyDeleteIce cream always takes a little of the sting away though :)
The first night without Jake wasn't weird at all actually because I didn't realize we would be spending it apart. I went to bed around 10pm and Jake was at a concert with his friends. I was told he would be coming home around midnight. When I woke up at 7am and he wasn't there I freaked out, but I slept fine without him.
ReplyDeleteThere are only three occasions where we haven't spent the night together in the 18 months we've been married and this week will be the fourth and longest time. I'm quite upset about it even though the ones in the past turned out fine. I'm sure you'll have fun with your friend though! :)
i think when that time comes for me, i will really miss it, but since i haven't experienced, all i know is that i will appreciate the time with the person
ReplyDeleteIt's the worst!! I am such a baby about it! but i really like your coping mechanisms. xox
