Tonight, My Mr. Incredible is out of town and oh how I wish I could be there with him! But, the home front needs me more.
I think I am lonely. I hate sleeping in a big empty bed by myself.
Who will warm the bed for me?
I can't sleep without a snoring body next to me and although, my beloved k-9 will rival any 757 jet engine. It is still not the same! The same snores that I would profess against when we first married have now become my sweet lullaby. It is my drug that lulls me to sleep. Those sounds give me such PEACE and COMFORT and a feeling of knowing I will be so protected.
I really HATE sleeping by myself.
I think I am nostalgic. He is going to one of our favorite vacation spots! He is headed on his way to CHARLESTON, South Carolina! The children and I love to head to Charleston. We used to go there 3 sometimes 4 times a year. Charleston holds such WONDERFUL memories for us as a family!
SLEEP well. I can't wait to be in YOUR arms AGAIN! I remember the feelings as a child awaiting Christmas morning to see what Santa had left. I feel this way anticipating your return!
What do you do when your Mr. Incredible is out of town? How do you get through the night? I have resorted to having 2 of my children sleep in my bed tonight! They too miss the security of knowing their dad is in the home. So, we shall lean on each other until our PEACE of heart returns.

Who will fight off the boogey men?

My kids always sleep with me when Jim is out of town. It helps to have the other side of the bed warm when I reach out. Good luck. Love that you miss him. M
PS
Thanks for your comment on my blog.
Me too, and I have done it for 5 years, I long for the weekend. I go to bed, scared, and loney, I think that is why I let my babies sleep with me. I too love that you miss him, and will post about it.
I so like having bloggy friends who love their hubbies just like me. It makes me feel less shy about being so gushy mushy over my honey on my blog. When the babies were little I let them sleep with me when daddy is out of town. But now that both are teen-agers I have to be content with piling up pillows on his side of the bed so I get that feeling of someone being next to me. Then I hug his pillow because it smells like him.
By the way your comment about widgets and falsies cracked me up!!! You and your analogies! I have to save that one for a future post for sure! Anyway I added to my post and credited you for the underwear analogy. You are a trip!
Well I too miss my hubby when he is gone, but I so do not miss the snoring....wow, it so keeps me awake and I have to give him the "kick" and we wakes and says what, I was not even sleeping....but we play musical beds at night anyway so even when he switches beds with the other boys, I still love to have him in the house!
That is such a sweet post and not to mention, a really cute Santa picture!! I hope is back before you know it! My husband isn't gone often, but when he is, I don't sleep well and worry all night about whether or not I turned the alarm on!!
I may be evil for feeling this way and even more evil for admitting it, but I LOVE having the bed all to myself...I am serious about this sleeping business.
It is almost good to have them gone once in a while because it makes you appreciate being in their arms again so much more.
Thanks for your nice comment on my blog regarding my conversion. You are something else.
I know that you have such a big heart. Now more than ever. I sometimes relish the bigger bed and being able to sprawl out. I am horrible I guess. I know that I need to be more like you and MerriAnne when it comes to totally missing them to the depths of the earth type missing. I need my space sometimes. This is very revealing of something not very good huh. I know Mr. Incredible is a very lucky man for sure. Keep his side warm.
How sweet Chrys!! I know how you feel. My hubby is gone more often than I'd like! But at least it's usually 1 to 2 nighters and not 4 or 5. (what it used to be)
Mine isnt out of town often, once or twice a year... I have such a hard time sleeping when he is gone! Hope your man isnt gone long!
I hate it when my man has to work out of town!!! I freeze in the night and he is a hot body!} When he is out of town I have started making CHristmas gifts for our neighbors. Last year I did blocks that said live laugh love. THis year I am doing a stich project that is super cool. Hopefully he gets back quicker! I think being married is like having a giant slumber party every night!
My husband has only ever gone out of town for 3 week stints with his army reserve unit. I've gone to my parents each time. Stay up late and sleep on the couch.
Superman usually goes to a friend's house one night/week. It's my night to blog all I want and watch the shows I want with no comments from the peanut gallery. I'm usually turn in at midnight, and he gets home around 1. Most nights, I'm still awake. As tired as I am, all I can think on those nights is, "This is what it would be like if he were dead."
I LOVE those nights. (slight sarcasm)
i get my kids to sleep in my bed with me, too!!!!!! ha ha ha!!!!! that is funny ♥
and
i used to live in charleston, south carolina!!! it was FUN!! we were like 10 minutes from several beaches!!!!
and
Spencer will be gone all next week AGAIN!!!! uuugh!!! so i know what you are feeling!!!!!
I hated when my husband had to go out of town for work! Thankfully we are now living where the meetings/training is always held, so no more outta town trips for him! I definitely let all the kids sleep in the bed with me though! Makes me feel a little better! Your post is so cute!
Oh, honey let me tell you... as you know I have been in Utah with my dad (and sweet mom) for about 8 nights now... I cant wait to be in MY Mr. Incredible's arms again!!!!
Hello, thanks for leaving a comment on my blog, I think Heather W. told you we used to live in Athens together (and we were YW leaders together, she was great with them!), and Tiffany is my sister! Small world, huh? And, yes, I remember Dora lee- we love her fam, tell her hi for me please. I actually saw your blog through my sister's friend's blog and realized I recognized the name b/c you took such great pics of Tiff when she was pregnant with Cali! Nice to meet ya over the bloggin world!!
When my hubby first started traveling for work, I used to stay up as late as I could stand before I just couldn't stay awake anymore. I just couldn't sleep without him there. I've gotten used to it now.
But, I still always have one or more of my little monkeys in bed with me, so I can have somebody to cuddle with.
Hope you made it through the night with some sleep...
I don't like when my hubby's gone either. I sleep with a light on & my cell phone & house phone right by me..
Hope he's home soon!
I hope you get through it. I'm so used to it by now, that I actually love having the bed to myself. But I do like it better knowing that he's downstairs rather than out of town. Good luck!
Todd wears a sleep machine at night that I used to HATE and now I can't sleep without it.
Hopefully he comes home soon. I hate it when my husband is gone too.
Sleep well!
Girl, I am so sorry! I thought it was such a cute idea with the names you picked but when I went to comment - it went totally out of my head. I'll watch out in the future Mother Goose!!
If my husband is gone over night it usually means he's up in the mountains somewhere, alone and sleeping under a tree.
Therefore, I usually spend the whole night praying he doesn't get eaten by a bear, and planning my life as a widow. There isn't much sleeping involved.
With my sweetie's work he's gone in the evenings a few times a month. With his last job he was gone a lot at night. (restaurant)
I'm used to falling asleep alone, but love being awakened by a cuddle at 2 am!
You have hit a nerve! I can't sleep. I end up in front of the TV, watching movies or on the computer. I may edn up only getting a oouple of hours of sleep. I am grateful that he does not have to travel for work right now. Which could happen any time. But has nto yet. My heart goes out to your lonely one.
i don't sleep well when dh is gone either. I finally just crash around 1 am when I can't go no more.
