I am so absolutely totally utterly head over heels in love with my man. There I said it. This post is for two reasons. One, my man has been traveling so much of late and being away from him is killing me. Aaarrgghh!! Two, this is in response to the countless questions posed to me (including my darling sister who has nightmares about my married life after reading Her Man) whether my man was Her Man of my earlier posts. Well, for all out there who wondered (You, too, Chech!!)….. My man is my man and not Her Man J
This is the longest he has been away since we married and I feel like a love-sick teenager. We have been talking on the phone so much, I dread receiving my mobile phone bill this month. It is sure to cost a bomb.
Strangely, for this particular stretch of his absence, I have realized a few things:
- I don’t need the duvet when sleeping each night but when he is around I grumble that he hogs it and I am left feeling cold.
- I sleep at the edge of my bed but when he is around I want more space.
- I have great difficulty sleeping with his elephant-like trumpeting (snores). Now I have great difficulty sleeping without the snores.
- I miss making coffee in the morning for him when I used to wonder why he could not make it himself (when rushing for work).
- I miss whipping up a quick dish at mid-night to feed my hungry man. But when he is around I wish you would just eat some bread instead.
- Usage of my mobile phone was purely to contact my kids, family and friends. Now, I only want to use it to hear his voice.
- His loud voice used to irritate me when all I wanted was peace and quite after a stressful day at work. Now the house is too quiet and I feel I am going bonkers.
- I complained when he asked me to pick out his clothes for work. Now, I have planned his outfits for the rest of the month!
- I pick up after him from discarded clothes, his paperwork, shoes, etc grumbling all the way. Now the house is too clean and I am looking for things to do.
- I fight with him all the time for the Xbox which he hogs just like our duvet. Now, I don’t even bother switching it on.
- All of a sudden my man has no flaws!!
People say love does the strangest things. I guess it does. It makes a sane person go looney….just like me. Well folks, till I hear his voice again, the butterflies in my stomach will be doing the Olympics. God knows if I will be able to make it to next week to be in my man’s arms once again. Double Aaaarrrggghhhhh!!!!!
For all my iLand friends who enquired about my absence….thank you so much. It really touched me as I did not know I would be missed. Well, folks, I am back….or at least I think I am J
