My wife is an amazing woman. She has stood by me thru good times and bad, thru bouts of stupidity and moments of sheer brilliance. She is always there for our son and for me.

At the moment though, she is a long way away. She had been stressed recently and needed a vacation so I told her she should go visit her sister for a week for a vacation. Just her and her sister; no house to clean, no little boy to take care of, no dinner to prepare, no clothes to wash, and no work. This is the week.
Instead she has a week of scrapbooking, pampering, shopping, and relaxing. Till Sunday that is, then back to reality.

Anyway, so I have been taking care of my son, cleaning the house (a bit and with mom-in-laws help,) cooking (we made omelets this morning and steaks last night,) shopping for food, washing clothes, and still going to work. Man do I miss her. ;)

It was pure luck (ie, a higher power) that got us together. During Desert Shield, I was serving aboard a cruiser in the Gulf and a buddy went down to get one of the any-service member letter. He gave me the letter, and I wrote back. After several more letters back and forth between my future wife, her sister and I, my ship was finally relieved and we came back to the states, to the same are as where she lived. We met that night and a few months later started dating. A few years later we were married.

It’s been ups and downs, great times and not so great, moments of perfection and moments of mistakes, but hey, we are only human. She does so much for this family.

I wish she was home but for now, I need to go put the clothes in the dryer.
