So fed up with the month and knowing that FIFO husband was due home at some point in the next week. I spent most of my day periodically checking his Frequent Fly-er Account…shhh…to see if his work had booked flights. Yes I hold the details for most of his accounts…poor man..there are no secrets from me. Actually periodically is an understatement I was a women possessed.
His work oddly has never ever contacted me to advise when he will or wont be home. They are the only company that haven’t kept ‘the wife’ informed so I don’t like to call them and ask either. I think I have called them twice in our seven year employ. Both times it was a brain snap..so they dont really count. I don’t want to seem desperate or needy. Instead I behave nonchalantly from a far all while checking the Qantas website like I was in the running for a starring role in the sequel for fatal attraction.
So I knew he would be home around the 3rd. Come 430pm I was getting desperate what if he isn’t coming home until the 11th he had thrown that date in somewhere I ran the dates, days through my brain…hmmm that might be a stretch for my patience, decorum and sanity. I did one last check at 500pm…bingo there it was..QF123.
I did the happy dance. Man I did the happy dance and I’m smiling. Smiling like the Cheshire cat. Now we are in full blown get ready for dad mode. Scrubbers, Clippers, hedgers will be out and I’m talking about whats required for moi. I have been somewhat neglectful of me. Winter=jeans…the only reason I shave my legs in winter is in case Im hit by a bus..seriously..its also why my office is always tidy…just in case I’m hit by a bus. I wouldn’t wont them to think I didn’t have it under control. I kid you not.
So my dear friends. Let the count down begin.

Ha, ha, bella.. its amazing how skilled we can be at sussing out stuff when we want to !! Hope you’ve had a beautiful reunion ! Enjoy. We’re off to Burleigh Heads for a week for school hols with beautiful hubby in tow…Woo, hoo. When it is sweet, its’ really sweet. ‘Specially love being me at these times !!! Lotsa love Mez xx
lol..isnt it funny the efforts we go to for them! Its takes so much effort and juggling…how many times I have had to answer the door with my head wrapped in a hair dye, make school lunches..to get the look right..now though as I get older and feel more unattaractive…hmmm…I have started doing it for me more often..even started wearing make up when I go out..when I get the time mind you..lol.xxD
Oh how did I miss this post! This is exactly me! I have a guy friend that I chat with, his humor keeps me out of that rut, we joke around and I told him, that if I ever shaved my legs to see him, and FIFO hubby was weeks away before coming home, than there might be trouble…. I shave, trim, prune and polish, 1 day out of 35 ONLY!!! Well, unless I’m feeling especially good looking, than the 9 days he is home I might do a once over again 🙂 I soooo enjoy that honeymoon feeling every four weeks!
