and here I am, sitting by myself on the bump instead, desperately wishing for something chocolate and having a major pity party. I miss my husband.

Ha! For when? I have to go on our family vacation without him. Although he does get 2 paid weeks off during the year that have pre-determined dates. Anyway, I don't really care to go back, I'm just sad that I'm alone tonight. He was supposed to get tonight off, but the *** hit the fan and he had to be there.

Ya but you have those 3 beautiful children in those pictures and a husband that works hard for you guys. I would take that as a anniversary present any day over a trip to Aruba. Having said that, we also said the same thing after our honeymoon there and I am sure next year I will post something similar on my 5 year anniversary. Remind me of my response then please. lol. Maybe make yourself a drink and mull over your wedding pictures!

I am so grateful for my beautiful family, and very, very appreciate that DH works so hard to give us a nice life and a great future. But I do miss him. Not just because it's our anniversary, but because I haven't seen him for more than an hour total all week. I'm just really lonely lately. I'm trying to fill the void by constantly being out with other people, but I come home at night and just want to cry. The least amount of hours he's had in the last 2 months is 57 hours, and that was a week he missed 2 days from being sick. While I enjoy the paychecks, at the end of the day, the extra shopping isn't taking his place.

Oh, I am sorry. ?I guess I missed that it has been a on-going thing. ?I know it must be hard. ?I was just trying to get you to see the bright side but sometimes that is hard to do. I hope things improve and you get some time to spend with your husband soon! ?Sorry you are down.

We said the same thing, except replace Hawaii with Aruba. And, five years came and went for us in May. I just didn't want to go pregnant.

However, you know what they say - life is what happens when you're busy making plans. You'll get back to Aruba.

I'm sorry GHM. Happy Anniversary! We wanted to go back to Jamaica for our five year anniversary with the couple we meet there but I'm due 28 days before that! I hop you and your DH get some time together soon!

Sorry, I completely understand barely seeing your DH.  Mine works AND goes to school.  Even when he IS home, he is working on homework.  We try to make a point of ONE night a week when he doesn't do work and we order in take out and open a bottle of wine.  It is a cheap date - no babysitter needed, and take out is generally cheaper than eating out for us.

But, I have seen him a grand total of a couple hours this week, with 2 days he was out of town.  wish I could say he was making more money for us when he is gone late at night   that might make me feel slightly better about it, but he is SPENDING money to be in school.  Boo.

I have to take DD on trips without DH these days, just because he can never spare the time.

Is there any end in sight?  at least I know DH finishes this degree in May.  PROBABLY means they will send him away for work more, but I can only HOPE he can give me a year of being home more.  I at least needd him home more since we are planning #2 at that point and he HAS to be home a little more for when I feel like crud!
