alright, i was going to title his, 'husband anxiety', because usually that's what i have when matthew is here, but now i realize i have even more when he is gone!!
matthew, b and my brother jeremy
left yesterday evening for a week long hike. i really should be more nervous for them (meaning b) but i haven't been. maybe all those hours of praying for comfort and to not always feel like a nervous nelly have paid off. it just feels too weird to not have a sinking feeling as i send my men out into the wilderness.
matthew and jer have lots of hiking experience and will take good care of my b but what about snakes, ticks, bears, lightening, getting lost, river water, falling (off a cliff-down a hill-in a river-down a mine-into a band of robbers-), not enough food, cold, heat, blisters, etc!!!!
not worried
the boz had only been gone a few hours when the worry set in. not for them, for us at home.
the only thing i needed matthew to do before he left was change a light bulb so i can see while i am sewing and not stitch my finger. JOB DONE!
hazards starting adding up
- a board missing from the fence - amber will get out and i will have to drive around looking for her at all her hot spots
- garbage disposal stuck, this i can fix, but can't find the tool
- driving on gas fumes - can get the gas but it would be really ironic if i ran out of gas for the 1st time while he is gone
- mysterious wet spot on the laundry shelf - actually matthew put the distilled water on the shelf above - SIDEWAYS - and it sprung a leak
- scare with a plugged toilet
i can deal with/fix these 'action items' but how could they all happen within 12 hours of matthew leaving.
maybe i'm just supposed to appreciate how much he takes care of us! all my friends that have m.i.a. husbands everyday i'm really feeling for you now!!
miss you goo!
