I admit it, I just can’t get through without my husband! He’s been off at the second part of his IV Sedation course this past week and I’ve been getting more emotional by the day. At first when he leaves for a dental course, it’s a bit like party time. The kids and I rent movies and have a little pizza party, trying to make the fact that Daddy is away less of a sad time. My boys love their Daddy and are quite sensitive about him being away.

However, after several days of little kid conversation, doing everything day in and day out, handling every tantrum and boo boo - well it wears on you, and you realize how awesome your spouse truly is. I’m so fortunate to have a husband who is willing to pitch in around the house, has no problem doing dishes or folding laundry - I LOVE THAT MAN! I love him being around to talk with, and even just to know he’s here and available is enough sometimes. Oh, and I adore that he’s so dedicated to Date Nights and takes me out weekly to renew our relationship beyond being parents together.

He should be walking in any moment now and I can’t wait to greet him. Separation sucks - I recommend togetherness all the way!
