I don't know if I can love him anymore

coasterqueen wrote: than I already do. My husband is the sweetest man on the planet! I so can't wait to go seem him mid of this month. Last night he was going over the financials with me and told me he wanted me to get a cleaning lady because he worries about me working all day long, then coming home and taking care of the kids, the house, the groceries/errand, the bills, etc, etc. He wants me to get someone to come clean EVERY week (used to be every 2 weeks when I did have someone). He is just SO sweet, bless his heart. AND he told me that he wants to continue letting someone clean when he gets home, so it wouldn't be a temporary thing (as long as we can figure out a way to afford it). Could I love him anymore?

BUT I told him I'm not going to get one right now because I'm "managing" (not well, but I am) to get things done. He's working so super hard there I hate to use any extra money we have on that. I think he deserves something for working so hard. Course he is getting Scooba. Anyways, I'll just wait and maybe get one later. I hate to spend money on it when I'm handling things so so. If I was a mess I'd definitely get one.

Kaitlin'smom replied: awwweee that is sooo sweet of him. I know you dont want to spend the money on it but what about ever 2 or 3 weeks just to help, that way your not spending as much?

~Roo'sMama~ replied: Good grief you kind of scared me! What a sweetie. Wow you're going to see him in just a couple of weeks! You must be so excited.

coasterqueen replied:
Well I might do that after he gets home. The girls and I are really managing ok. The house isn't spotless but we are muddling through. I figure if we can survive DH being away then we'll be able to do anything.

coasterqueen replied:
Sorry, I wondered if my opener was going to do that. I am VERY excited to go see him. Kylie is too but not as much as I thought she would. I think it's because she doesn't really understand the concept of time, ya know? But this Sunday will be 30 days since we've seen him and 40 days since he's been gone. So we are due for a visit.

Boys r us replied: You do have an awesome DH Karen!!!! I'm glad that he recognizes how hard you're having to work with him being gone! You need to acknowledge it too though! Yes he is off working hard making extra money for your family..but you are just as much a part of that as he is b/c you're doing everything he would be doing if he was here!! ya'll are doing what married people should be able to do best..working together as a team to get it done!!!! and when ya'll finally do see each other it's going to be so so meaningful and sweet!

DansMom replied: That's wonderful, Karen! He does sound like a great and caring guy.

Your subject line reminds me of this funny repartee DH and I do:

me: "don't you love me anymore?"

him: "I don't love you any less!"


BTW: I'd go for the cleaning lady

TANNER'S MOM replied: You scared me too!

But I am glad you are getting the butterflies back.. Distance does make the hurt grow fonder..lol

I hope we get a post down below..when you get back from seeing him..

And get the cleaning lady as an early Christmas gift to your self!

A&A'smommy replied: awwwwwww I can tell that his being away like this has brought you guys SOOO much closer!! I'm so happy for you!!! \\

And your title scared me too!!

redchief replied: Have a great visit. With all on his mind it's so cool he thought of how hard you have it!

coasterqueen replied:
You are so true Ed. He's going through so much crap down there I feel so terrible for him. The pressure that is put on these guys is completely unbelievable. It's aboslutely horrible. I pray he makes it out of this in one piece because I can tell just by some of our discussions that he's not the same he was when it comes to many things. He was so thrilled to get to do this work and now he hates it so much that he's not going to do any more time than he has to

And for him to be going through all that and to be thinking about me is AWESOME.
