The Comfort of Home From Her

I have spent the last 5 days in High Point, NC at the fall furniture market. Purple, Grey/Silver, Metallic, Blue, and Yellow are all colors that you will see coming out on furniture in the next couple of months!! I had a great time hanging out with my co-workers, but I do have to say that the blisters I received on my feet from walking the 1,000's of sq feet of showroom space were not quite as exciting. Who would have imagined that there is that much furniture out there to be sold. After my 6th trip to market I am still amazed. That is definitely a story for another blog though.

You never really know how much you miss the comforts of home until you are away! While it was nice to get the break from Noble (our lovely dog) whining because he is not getting enough attention, food, belly rubs, etc. It was also nice get a break from hearing "What's for dinner, are you cooking tonight" "We are out of towels are there any in the dryer" or my favorite "Are you watching that on TV can I change the channel" usually I want to say "No I am just sitting here looking at the TV but I am not watching it". Now I am not complaining, because I know that there are many women that would love to have this problem and probably many woman that love the fact that they do not. I just happen to one of the ones that does not mind having the problem and appreciate the fact that I have a wonderful husband who loves me unconditionally (mood swings and all) because boy was I in a mood when I got home today. I am sure he will post a blog on that. I often hear my co-workers and friends say "Marriage is easy now just wait until you have kids" I have to say that I disagree there is not any marriage or relationship that is easy no matter what the situation. If they were easy then everyone would be in one!! I will agree that adding kids to the mix makes it a bit more challenging, but what is life without a challenge.

Since I arrived home this afternoon, my dear husband has cooked dinner, unpacked my bags, washed the towels, and even let me watch what I wanted to on TV tonight (until about 10:30 :-). While I did enjoy being away for a few days, it was nice to come back and enjoy the ALL "The Comforts of Home"
