While You Were Away

The Hubs rarely travels for work.  But when he does he usually comes home and says the same thing, "Man I missed you.  What did you do while I was gone?  Sneak boys into the house????"  Of course I always disappoint him by saying, "Sneak boys into the house?  Are you kidding me!  I barely got rid of you before getting you back." 

This time when The Hubs comes home I'll have more exciting things to tell him.  I don't want to grow predictable and easy to read.  After 15 1/2years of marriage that could easily happen.  So this time when The Hubs comes home and asks what I did while he was gone this is what I'll say,  "While you were gone I kissed a skull!  And while you were gone I made out with a fish.  Oh, and while you were gone I danced and sang.  But all of these things, no matter how exciting, strange or thrilling they may seem would never be as fun as the things I do when you are at home." 
Sometimes life doesn't seem to change much. Things seem rather predictable.  Sameness is kind of a fear that I have.  But very often I forget there are so many people in the world and in my life I know well that wish for a life that was the same as it was a year ago or even a day ago.  They wish things hadn't or wouldn't change.  I have to remember that just because things have been the same for a while that it doesn't mean things aren't good and life isn't wonderful.  I'll try not to grow so predictable, but I'll also enjoy the predictability and sameness in my life that makes it what it is.  And it is a beautiful life!  So if there are any boys out there looking to sneak into a girl's house tonight keep on looking.  Because this girl is about as predictable as it gets unless she happens to run into a fish or a skull, and that doesn't happen every day.
