Wife Off Duty
My husband left for an out of town funeral and for some reason I'm happy.  Okay, I know what the reason(s) are.  I don't feel any pressure to be a wife.  I don't have to cook, clean, comb my hair, or wash my butt if I don't want to (lol).  I should feel guilty for being so happy, yet I'm not and if he had taken the boys with him, I'd probably jump and shout.  My goodness...I must need a break more than I realize (smile).  Anyway, the boys will cook their own hamburgers tonight and if they want them again tomorrow - have at it! Of course I'll be happy to see my dear husband when we reunite and I'll miss him dearly, yet I will enjoy these off duty days as much as possible.  I'll be nurturing, loving, supportive, and encouraging from a distance until his return.
