DC has my heart :(

Hubby went to DC this week to have his interview with the admirals. Basically, they ask him questions, and he answers them, and then they decide if he is knowledgeable to keep his job. Obviously, he'll do fine- he's smart and can think on his toes. And I know that he has to do this to move ahead, but...

I miss him.

Of course, there will also be other instances where he will be gone (such as a 6 month westpac). I'm not sure why this one bugs me. Maybe it's because I've been spoiled having him around as much as I did. Or maybe it's because I'm superjealous that he's back on the east coast (mmm, I'd kill for a Kahlua coffee coolatta and a bavarian creme donut from Dunks). Whatever it is, I'm bummed.

But at least I'm keeping busy. Dinner with Trisha (possibly) and rehearsal tomorrow, brunch and watching Trisha's kids Wednesday, and sub wives' coffee and tooth filling Thursday. Okay, so the tooth filling will suck, but it's something. :) Plus, I have a long list of things to get done while Hubby is away.

Sometimes having Hubby away works out fine. I'm not getting elbowed in the face while sleeping. :) Plus, I can make pasta dishes and not hear complaining about the lack of protein. But the cons definitely outweigh the pros by far.

Right now, LB probably doesn't realize that Hubby is away for awhile. He probably thinks that daddy just has a really long work day right now. But as he gets older, not only will I have to contend with my loneliness, but I'll also have to deal with his. Hopefully, LB won't remember all the months that Hubby is away with the military. After all, he'll be 7 when Hubby retires. But it will be hard for a little kid to understand why daddy doesn't come home for months on end. Oooooh, that'll be a fun time. :P (Please note the thick blanket of sarcasm)

*In other news, LB's top front two teeth are starting to poke through! Yay!
