Yearly Planners are a Bad Idea

When I start to look out a the upcoming 2010, I can't help but look at all the weeks with -----------------------------  drawn through them.

Glenn leaves for XXX -------------------- Glenn home from XXX

This morning I made the mistake of counting those weeks. Do you even want to know the grand total?

27.

As long as everything goes as planned. 27 weeks. Granted I will be seeing him for more than the remaining 48% of the year because I'll be flying all over this hemisphere to see him, but 27?! Really?!

I know many a spouses who are spending their 2010 the same way. I guess I'm feeling a little bitter though because of a few reasons. Excuse me while I have my own pity party-
  1. I did this last year.
  2. I'll do this again next year.
  3. My family is coming to visit soon and Glenn is being sent to California smack in the middle of their trip. Awesome.
Now is when Glenn people say 'suck it up.' Alright, alright, I'm working on it.

The end.

I'm sorry :( I know you're bummed. I wish I could say something to make it better but I can't. I know how hard it was when Dave and I were apart in college and we still got to see each other like once a month or more. So I can't even imagine how much harder it is for you...so you're allowed to have a pity party because it sucks. Hugs.

It totally does suck. I'm sorry!!! And I wouldn't fully understand your pity party if I hadn't done it recently too. It totally sucks! Tell Glenn that you're allowed to hate it, it doesn't change anything if you hate it. But then remember all the fun things you'll do together in those far off places! Youre an expert at getting the most for your money, so you won't let portcalls be lame! :) Miss you!
