New Frontier

So. Tomorrow husband is heading to FL. One of his "good" customers owns a house in Sarasota and wants work done on the house. He is going with husband to go over the work and then probably husband will be gone for awhile to complete if everything works out good.

Husband of course is dreading going. One because he will be gone for 5 days and also because it will mean, possibly, that he will be gone for about 4 months and only home on weekends. With me now working, it isn't the most ideal situation, but work is greatly needed for husband. WE can make it work. That is what I have learned in the last 18 years(!) of being married. You learn to work together and pick up when needed. Fortunately my boys are old enough where they really help a lot. Between them vacuming, dusting, and cleaning their rooms twice a week the difference is amazing. They actually now will clean up more each night to make their chores less later in the week. But school, homework and sports on top of all that and they are doing way more than they should.

Fortunately for me, since they are both in wrestling, I am not comming home to kids being home alone for a couple of hours. They are great boys. Always looking for ways to keep themselves busy. My biggest problem with getting a job was not "being there" for them. But I am. I still am able to go to their matches. Still cook the same "home" meals they are use to. Plus, at their ages, if I couldn't trust them at home while I was at work, it would have meant I waisted 10 years raising them. They both call me when school is over (before they go to practice). Just to say HI. What more could I ask for?

So, husband going tomorrow is both good and bad. It is good because he will have work. Bad because he will be missing wrestling matches. Good because he will make more contacts. Bad because I wont be with him if the job goes through.
