Mamma Misses Daddy

Hey all its been a busy past couple of weeks for me here with my partner home off the ship. He is a merchant marine and works in Galliano, Louisiana 28 days and then is home for two weeks.
Well he was only able to stay home for seven days this time since he has some physicals and some testing he has to do with the coast guard. As a family there is a time when you have to evaluate where you are and make adjustments that will affect the entire household. Thus he has decided to go for his engineering license. This will take us to a new level where we will be able to purchase a home, prepare for the future, college fund for the kids,.. that kind of thing.
So there are sacrifices that have to be made one of which is him having to go out on a ship to make money since where we live there are no jobs that pay over 10-12 bucks an hour. Which is why I choose to work from home as it would cost the family more for me to be in the workforce with day care and gas and other expenses.
So back to this situation. Since he is making this decision to move upward in his career now we are officially on the market for a house and new furniture and all of the fun stuff that comes with a house like extra utilities, and mowing grass ick!
There is also the sacrifice that comes with that which means mamma (me) is going to have to start working more hours to validate me staying home (in my opinion) so that I can do the swap meet, be home for commnunity things be with with the kids and still make money.
Funny I have not told him any of this, I just believe that it is my duty to carry my weight in this marriage and add more to the table including not letting him know how much we hate that he leaves like he does, how we worry when there are stormes out there on the water, how KJ cries for him for at least three days when he goes back to work, or how I can't sleep, or get sick the minute he drives away. Lets not even talk about how my nerves get shaken and I eat everything in sight that whole day after he is gone? All we do is just laugh and smile and enjoy the time that have together. Sure we disagree and have little spats but nothing to the point where we are not aware that soon he will be gone yet again.
So today I am having a blah day missing the love of my life, hoping that with my busy schedule that I won't think about it as much and that the next 28 days will go by quickly.
