Sleepin' Single in a Double, er Queen Size, Bed...

This a little note to all you military wives and wives whose husbands travel frequently. I so have a new-found respect for you! Bobby has to travel every now and then and I'm left home alone with my girls, the cat and dog. Now, I know you're probably thinking I have this "Oh I miss my husband so much and can't wait to see him!" mentality, but that's so not it. Don't get me wrong, I do miss him but when he's gone, but I have this horrible habit of scaring myself. 

I've always had a roommate and have never lived on my own and even when they were gone, I'd do the same thing. Or, I'd just go stay at a friends house or have someone over. I make up noises that I hear and sometimes wish my 10 pound Jack Russell Terrier was a 80 pound German Shepherd! So, the upside, I sleep with the dog at the foot of the bed knowing that she'll bark and growl if she hears anything suspicious, and a gun on each nightstand. So, the mentality I really have is more of a "Shoot first, ask questions later." I am from Texas, after all!

So, to all you army wives and wives of husbands racking up the frequent flyer miles, I don't know how you do it. Maybe you aren't a sissy like me, and I know I am, but if I had  a drink, I'd

 so raise a toast to you!

On another note, he does come home tonight, which means no more jumping each time the air conditioner turns on. I think I'm going to get out of my snobby, 55-year-old-woman-in-a-24-year-old-girls-body-attitude and check out the local festival tomorrow. It supposed to be a pretty big deal around here...we shall see.

For the Fam: Here are a few pictures of the house. I'll take more of the upstairs and our bedroom and post those later...

Our Little Dining Area:

Living Room -- My curtains look shiny in this picture!

Kitchen -- that I've used twice!

XOXO,
