Alone

I spent this week completely alone. My husband had a work trip and I got to have the house for myself for the first time since we have been married. I use to love living alone and I was able to take care of myself (cook, clean, fix things), but since I've lived with my husband things have changed. If something needs to be fixed I call for him, if I'm hungry he's always kind enough to cook, he goes to the grocery store and takes care of any errands. I still clean, but not as much as I did when I was by myself. The second he left, I immediately reverted back to my old self. I tried recipes, I made sure all of the animals were taken care of and spent extra time with them, and even ran errands. I work two jobs so I'm always burnt out and I don't want to deal with all of the basics most days; however, I made time for it the minute it became imperative. It's nice to know that I can juggle my schedule and get by if I really needed to. Hopefully, I'll keep this up and won't put as much off on my hubby. It's kind of easy to do when you work fifteen (or more) hour days. However, my new work schedule gives me more than one night off a week so I can actually start helping out. Maybe we'll find a routine that works out better for us now...
