| | Absence really does make the heart grow fonderI've recently discovered one of the many "pitfalls" of marriage......being so dependent on the other for things that once he/she is gone, you're not a whole person!
Richard's been away on missions and b/c he takes care of all the bills, savings, etc. that before he left, I realized that if something were to ever happen to him, I'd be broke, high in debt (b/c the bills wouldn't be paid) and unable to access my money. :P Job #1 was to ask him to write down all the codes/access info for EVERYTHING before he left.
Internet goes down right after Richard leaves.....not good b/c HE takes care of that. I call verizon and i'm sure they made fun of me after getting off the phone w/ me: modem? router? filter? how many phone lines in our house????AHHHHHH! Luckily, I've always been quick to pick up things, so as you can see, I'm on line again!
MY TV doesn't work....reset the receiver? what's the receiver? hahaha. Again, i'm quick w/ things. Working TV!!
Water goes down in Bergen county-someone asked me how I first discovered this. Well, my parents were over and both my dad and grandmother used my bathrooms w/o being able to flush after "hours or what seemed like hours" of being in the bathroom. Dad says, "see? aren't you glad I used your toilet or you wouldn't have known there was a problem?". No, not really. Not when I can't flush!!!!
So while discovering this, I've learned to appreciate my spouse, but more so, to value myself as an individual and do the things I used to do for myself when I was single!
Finally, how do single parents do it? I've been w/ the kids by myself for only a week and already I'm spent! I WANT TO GO BACK TO WORK!!!!!! :P
