Dh has been away for a week

and it has been loverly.

I have been so relaxed and calm and thoroughly enjoyed it. Cant say Ive noticed too much difference in the children apart from them behaving like brats when we got snow. He got back about 7.30 last night and I was immediately riled. In fact before he got back he riled me by ringing me and as usual just putting the phone down when he'd finished.

He's helping my aunt and uncle move this morning, my cousins dh came to collect him at 7am but prior to this he was noisily moving about the house and even switched the bedroom light full on to empty the washing basket because "if I dont do it it wont get done" He was talking loudly down the stairs to cousins dh despite us all being in bed still. Then at about 8am he phones me because they cant find the van hire place and wants me to look it up and ring them back. I know Im being a bit precious about this but my cousin has a baby and a toddler and was up and my uncle who booked the van was also up so unsure how I suddenly become hte point of contact

Sorry for ranting

I think it is important for you to dump here, you won't get the same support from a blog.

Oh Jampot I know what you mean...my dh works in the mines. I just love it. He's away 10 days home for a week, which I reckon is too long to be home....The house is cleaner, kids are in a great routine they tend to turn into spoilt brats when he's home cos they know daddy is big softy.

cheekychick · 10/02/2007 21:23

in response to Lux - lifestyle choice!
