It's May 13th, six weeks or so into my new life and I'm away from home. Odd to say that.
R didn't want me to leave so soon, he knew it was coming because of the new baby but he was disappointed he couldn't come with me. Also I will be here almost 3 weeks! I figured I don't know when I will get back east for a visit so might as well make it a decent size one, and I also was hoping I would make it to NY to visit my other son and my friends. Not so sure that will happen now though. The baby is still in the hospital and I don't want to miss his homecoming!
Oh how easy and quick and uncomplicated baby love is!!
I've only been here since Monday night so I haven't had a chance to be melancoly about being away from home yet. Of course I miss R. I miss my talks with T and I miss the grandbabies there, particularly the littlest one. Hard to miss S and the boys yet but I know I will. Sister wives is a strange kinda love, it ain't easy.
I'm thinking right about now that the process of finding sister wives should be left to the existing sister wives. Of course that is crazy for me to say since I believe in Romantic love being a part of marriage, but I just feel that way pretty strongly.
See, if I pretend I am actually at work and not in a home, this is the way it would be:
After a while I would probably make friends with T. While we have different backgrounds, don't have a helluva lot in common and different tastes in some things, I would enjoy her company!!! OH MY I'm sure when I get the chance to mention this revelation, that will shock R since he was so sure it would be S I would like the best.
Anyway, back to the office. I would probably enjoy working with T, chat with her, perhaps have lunch together and so forth. I would like her, I'm sure, even though it would take a while to get to know her since she keeps things pretty close to the chest most of the time. Assuming S works in the same office, I probably would be cordial and pleasant with her but not seek out her friendship. We are very very different people with different outlooks. And I would find her constant chatter annoying as hell. Even without becoming her friend, I would know her life story, through over hearing her in the lunch room. She is outgoing and would probably stop by my office or cubicle just to pass the time and chat and I would tolerate it but not be happy about it. Do you know what I mean? This isn't to say she isn't nice, because she can be very nice.
About 2 weeks ago I got a horrible stomach bug. Like nothing I've had since my kids brought that kind of thing home from school. ugh. I could barely raise my head from the bed for a whole day, except in emergencies. S was WONDERFUL. She brought be tea, cold drinks, even soup toward the end of the day. It was really nice. I even told R how nice it was and how guilty I felt about not loving/liking her more now. Bare in mind that was an entire day without hearing her quote from the bible about one thing or another, or about hear the reminders about how I need to be more submissive and agree with everyone on everything more. yikes!
Anyway, I'm away from home, it's the beginning of the trip and so far I really only miss R and the youngest grandbaby. Is that horrible of me? I miss the baby because he calls me moomoo and gives me kisses in the morning to wake me up and sweet hugs good night. And he has his grandpa's flirtatious nature. I miss R, because I always miss R, just because.
So I'm babbling on about my sister wives when what I really wanted to say is that my new grandson is BEAUTIFUL! I am so proud! I'm sure I will cry when it's time to go back home, but it will be good to get back home too..I miss my room! My new life! The warmer weather!
I just hope I can continue to visit little Dylan.
