Here we go again

    So this winter my husband retired. For most that would mean that their husbands are home ALL the time and getting used to being around each other 24/7 sometimes can be a challenge.  Well for me and others like me its a bit different?  My husband is home 24/7 in the winter so we do get a chance to be with each other for long periods of time. We have so much fun together , we are big into games and start each morning with a few backgammon games and even keep track to give someone the Championship title on New Years Eve.   Well after after a great winter together, spring brings a change yet again.  Yes my husband is retired but what do they say? You can't keep the sea out of a sailor?  He is back out there again but with a new company, a new ship and a new schedule , no longer 1/2 the year but a mere 3 months.  Sounds good but I'm still getting used to being home alone again.  Its hard to say goodbye and hard to be apart I know he'll be home the middle of next month ( ?) But for now I'm glad I have a bunch of projects and wonderful kids and grandkids around!
