Once again my husband went out of town this weekend and won't be home for about another 4 hours. Thankfully this was one of the rare times that we didn't have severe weather that made me freak out and feel like a two year old in a dark room. I am really starting to hate that he is always gone. Even during the week he has meetings almost every night. Then to make it worse he will be gone from the second week of June until the beginning of August. Which means this will be the THIRD year in a row that he isn't hear to celebrate my birthday. At least years previously my friends were around to help me celebrate but not this time. The rate of divorce for his profession is high and I am beginning to understand why. Not that I am anywhere near wanting a divorce, I am just irritated with his job demands. It's like his bosses and people that volunteer for him have no respect for the fact that he has a wife at home. They are CONSTANTLY calling at all hours of the night and day to talk to him. I made him send out an e-mail to all of his volunteers last week that said "Now that my office phone has been transfered to my apartment, if any phone calls are received after 9:00pm, on weekends (especially Sundays), or on holidays the phone will be handed to my wife and you can explain to her why you are calling on said time/day. I guarentee no excuse you give her will be good enough for her to give the phone to me or prevent you from being fussed at." Now I don't think my demands are asking too much. I mean do they not have families ???? Do they also get neglected as much as I do because they absolutely must talk to my husband at 10 at night??? UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok that felt good to get out.
Hope everyone is having a better day than I am.
