One less person

My husband is out of town this week; I miss him and am grateful for this time.
It changes our rhythm. One less person whose needs and feelings I keep track of.

My son sleeps in our bed; we linger over dinner in a different way. I play more games with my youngest and have more heart to hearts with my oldest. I want to look at how to make that happen even when my husband is here. Tonight I am taking the kids for ice cream, which is never my idea…I’m the healthy one. It’s fun to change it up a bit!

Does your rhythm of life change when your household does?
