When the Hubs is Away.....

Things I can "get away" with while Chadwick is playing in Alaska at the 47th Annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race:

  • Leaving my muck boots by the back door
  • Not having the house *totally picked up of the toys and clutter that are part of my day
  • Cooking easy, kid-friendly meals without guilt
  • Eating breakfast for dinner
  • Turning the sheep loose in the back yard and pasture
  • Not putting away the hair straightener/curling iron after each morning use
  • Being lazy about folding laundry and putting it away (I did promise that when he returned it would be a different set of clothes in the baskets in the den)

Things I miss while Chadwick is caring for the sled dogs:
  • Help with dishes after a day of cooking and eating
  • Having a priesthood holder in the home
  • Taking turns singing songs to the kids before bed
  • A warm body breathing next to me while sleeping
  • His wrestling and playing "ouchie game" with the kids after work
  • Taking Darwin for a run to get the wiggles out (Darwin is a better dog when he runs at least twice a week)
  • His being the operator of and stress-carrier for CBH 
  • A willingness to listen to my "brain dump" of all the stuff rattling around in my brain at the end of the day
