Last week, Husband was gone for what seemed like a quarter century, but was more like 8 days. (He surprised me by arriving home early!) He was doing good deeds while Summer Elizabeth and I enjoyed a quaint mommy & baby Christmas together.
Boy, was I glad when he got home! Here’s why I NEED my man.
- I just can’t budge at 5:00 a.m. when the baby wants her morning “rescue” from the crib. Cue Husband to play superhero daddy and save the little princess
notin distress. - Taxis are too expensive, and believe it or not, there are a couple of places I deem too far to walk. Sweet chauffeur, I missed you!
- Eating sushi on New Year’s Eve by yourself is just plain awkward.
- I never realized how much he helps pick up around the house. One year-olds should come with maids. Sock here, crumbs everywhere, sippy cup hiding under the sofa 3 days…you get the gist.
- His hugs.
- Squirmy baby bathing is much, much easier with an extra set of hands.
- He heats up like an oven when he falls asleep. My cold, empty bed was not inviting.
- What fun is there if you don’t have somebody to share the day’s giggles with?
- An entire batch of addictive chocolate fudge sat in the fridge last week with only me to eat it. My body really could’ve done with another human to share the calories with.
- He’s got my heart.
So very glad you’re back, my love!
I know I hate it when Will is gone. Not only do I miss his help with the babies, but I just miss him! Glad your hubby is back to ring in the New Year!
Yeah, I guess I sort of made it sound like I mostly miss his help around the house, but I DEFinitely miss him because he’s my man, first and foremost. Have a great New Year, Mary. Looking forward to working with you in January.
LOVE this post! Dad’s need to be celebrated more!!
Fully agreed!! Thanks for visiting, Rachel!
This is so cute, I don’t know what I’d do without my OH! Love him to bits!
It’s rough, but I think it makes you appreciate him even more, if you’re separated for a wee bit.
A very sweet post! You are blessed with a beautiful family!
Thank you, Sylvia. I sure hope you and your family have a wonderful time celebrating the new year.
Hello I am stopping by from the Mom’s Monday Mingle. I hope you have a very happy New Year and your little family is gorgeous. I too miss my husband bad when he is not here. I don’t realize how much he does for me and the kids until he is not here. Husbands are great 🙂 I am your newest follower.
Love

Nice to have you, Patricia! Thanks so much for stopping by today.
Aww, that stinks that he had to be gone, especially on Christmas. Mine was just gone for 2 days and 1 night and that was bad enough!
