be the wife my husband deserves

I went camping with dh’s coworkers and it was a lousy campsite and it rained all day the second day, but I really didn’t complain.

DH was gone all day yesterday (work and then baseball game till midnight) and will be gone all day today (work, then golf) and I did not (and will not) complain in the least.

I went to a party at the house of one of dh’s coworkers and entirely attended by other coworkers and we stayed for about four hours.

I did get to bring my knitting, though… ;)

OK, well, he was happy yesterday. Twice.

My hubby has now been gone for nearly two months, and I’ve been writing emails/letters every day and sending care packages. It’s a lot harder to be a wife when your husband isn’t around. Still, I try to stay cheery for him because life where he is pretty depressing. Every time he calls I feel like telling him the things that are going wrong, but I try to spend the fifteen minutes being uplifting instead. Just recently, I haven’t been doing such a great job at that. My grandfather died a few days after he left, and my grandmother probably won’t make it before he gets back. Its nearly impossible for me to stay positive for him when we both know I am miserable. I wish he was home now, I really need him.

is an ex-wife. I’m almost there. 3 months and the abusive MF’er is a momma’s boy bachelor again.

I already AM, and have been, that wife for a long dang time, I realized today.

less computer time. More cleaning, cooking, completing projects and organizing. Not very romantic, but I think these are the things that make him feel loved and appreciated.

Much as I love 43T, I love him more. One way I can show this is how I spend my time.

I’ve been thinking about this goal and I feel like I’m not giving myself enough credit when I say I want to be the wife my husband deserves. I am a good person and we are well suited to each other.
I would like to improve our relationship but I can’t do that on my own.

and I really need to figure out what I mean by this goal
