My Spoiled Existence

Yes, I'm very spoiled at the moment. I didn't always see it that way. When Peter basically quit his job and went back to school full time he was home way too often for my taste! We had a very delicate balance at home and he tipped it big time. All of a sudden the kids had someone to ask permission from besides me and of course the answers he gave them were not the ones I would have. Well, now we've worked all that out and the balance is back and I am totally spoiled. If I want to go to the store, he is often home so I can go alone or with just one kid if I want to. Some nights, he cooks. Some days, I even get a nap! Heaven! It's so nice to have him home often. Tuesdays and Thursdays were awful this last semester because he was gone from 7-7 and I am just not used to that! I am used to having another parent around for some of the day and the evening too. What in the world am I going to do when he graduates next year and gets a regular job? I'll have to create a new balance once again. I don't know how wives of husbands who travel do it. I think I would die. The house would be a wreck, that's for sure. I must no be as good a homemaker as I thought because I sure do lean on him a lot. I'm hoping when he's not around so much my instincts will kick back in and it won't take too long to adjust. I'm sure going to miss it though.
