welcome home....

I haven't been on the internet much this weekend, since Doug's return home.

I got the best call around 5:30am Friday morning. When I saw the caller ID, I thought that Doug was up and heading on his second leg of the "return home" trip. I had talked to him just before bed Thursday night and he was going to drive a bit further then find a hotel for the night. So I was surprised when he called to tell me that he was only about a mile down the road. I love him for not just showing up, he knows that I would have had a panic attack if I heard someone coming in the house in the middle of the night. After the week I had been having, it was such a good start to my Friday, to have him come curl up in bed and cuddle with before I had to get ready for work. Of course, the dogs were not happy to have to share the space they had claimed for two weeks. (They are only allowed to sleep in the bed when Doug is gone, so they won't bark all night) Then even though he had only had about four hours of sleep, after I left for work, he came and had lunch with me at work. He is such a sweet husband.

I have to say I did have a slight moment that was upset that he drove all night. Only because I was afraid he would fall asleep at the wheel. Anyone who really knows Doug, knows that I always drive home at night. He has the "baby syndrome", when it's dark and you put him in the car, he falls sleep. I couldn't stay upset at all though once he walked in the door, and it was a struggle to make myself go to work. I could have just stayed in bed with him all day. I always miss him so much when he is gone, but so excited to see him when he returns.
