The husband has been off since last Friday, and it has been absolutely wonderful having time with him at home. I haven’t had to touch the dishes in a week, he’s literally done them the whole time. He’s played with baby girl while I worked. We’ve gone on little adventures. And we got to have a date tonight (thanks momma!), and end the night around the fire pit. I’m so sad he has to go back to work tomorrow, but the upside is that it’s Friday and then we’ll have him back for two more days!
This week has really made me think. It has felt so normal and right having him here all day every day. I love the way we work together to manage the house and take care of baby girl. He said he has loved being here, as well. I’m really starting to pray for an opportunity for some kind of work that he can do from home. And maybe something we can do together. I tell him all the time that I feel like at some point in our lives we will own our own business or something.
I know for a lot of people, the thought of working with your spouse is anything but appealing, but I don’t get it. I absolutely love spending time with him, whatever we’re doing. It’s a little sickening at times how in tune with each other my husband and I are. At the same time, sometimes I can be pretty narrow-minded about how to approach things, and he will gently present another point of view (that usually makes more sense because he is ridiculously smart) that I hadn’t even considered. I think we would work very well together. So, if you’d like, pray about this with me… I feel like it could lead to something.
