So he thought I paid it, and I thought he paid it. It was just a small misunderstanding; that’s all. No worries! Direct TV was very nice when I called them and asked them what code 721 meant and why our cable no longer worked. If this was the only snafu with my husband being gone for 17 days then I am happy.
This trip made me realize one big thing, I can handle it. Not that I am one of those women who can’t do anything by herself, but the thought of being alone with no family close by did scare me. I don’t know why, single parents do these things all the time. I watch my friend who is a single parent handle it every day amazingly.
In twelve years of marriage, we have never been apart for more than a few days. Neither one of us travel for work outside of a conference a few times a year, so this was a new experience for both of us.
Several people said to me that the break would do us good, I thought they were crazy (at the time) but now I think they were right. Being apart from my husband for a few weeks had some advantages, being apart made us appreciate each other a little more, and having some time for ourselves apart is healthy for a relationship.
I always wonder what I would do if I had to do the little handyman work around the house. One day I saw a truck go by that I knew I would definitely have to call. It was a bright red truck with the words "Husband for a Day."
