Husbandless

As many of you know- Jason has left for India. He comes back February 9th.  So, for the next 3 weeks, 6 days, and 22 hours (who’s counting) I’m a single parent. I haven’t decided if I should refer to myself as a widow or a bachelorette…  Both come with their own connotations. ☺

So far, with one week down, we’re doing OK.  When I think of it in terms of “1 day at a time,” it’s not too bad.  It’s only when I sit and think about how far away February is that I worry for my sanity.  However, in some ways, having Jason out of town is easier than when he works late. At least I know I’m doing it alone, and I can mentally prepare.  And I don’t wait around watching the clock- hoping he’ll come home before I put the girls to bed, or before I accidentally fall asleep on the couch.

FYI: Jason’s doing well. He’s alive and mostly well. I don’t think his stomach has quite adjusted yet.  He is keeping an updated blog- so if you want to see what he’s up to, check out www.jasonguthrie.net.
