I get a call from the man rather early in the morning. like the kids, he seldom calls unless he has problems or needs something or other.
"Guess what", he said.
"What?"... what else was i supposed to say lol?
"HR dah call, kata its confirmed. tunggu CEO balik cuti untuk sign surat je" he continued rather slowly.
Hmmm. he did promise to let me know the instant he got word. was he hiding his excitement in view of my previous trepidation or was he actually a little worried about going? we'd been waiting for this confirmation since july and i've had ample time to play out best & worse case scenarios around it. but i admit, i'm still not prepared. i hate having to manage on my own, i hate shouldering the responsibilities and making immediate decisions alone, i hate being left behind, i hate this 'lost sheep' feeling and i just loathe sleeping alone.
Theres so much to hate about this latest developement. but of course, my practical side will never allow me to be incapacitated for long. even as i write, my survival mode has already kicked in. so, he's being send to turkmenistan... viewed through the atlas it isnt that far away but due to the unavailability of direct flights, it can take up to 24 hours. so i only get to see him every 4 months... but he's hardly home as it is.
I've never stood in the way of his career and i'm not going to start now. so i guess we'll manage.
As we always have.
But i'm missing him already :(

The only way to get rid of all this pent up restlessness is to pound it out. good thing its gym day.

I know what u mean when u say u loathe sleeping alone. I hafta go thru that quite a bit with hubby offshore and what not. it sucks having to be strong when they're not there doesn't it?
But anyways, this is all for a good reason, and we wives have to be supportive of our men don't we! And there will always be the kids for us to pour all our love, heart and soul to, kan?>
take care!
anedra, hubby 'org minyak' gak ke ?:)
this offshore thing must be tough on the family ya tapi alah bisa tegal biasa i guess. during the kerteh port construction dulu the hubs was there for 2 years and we got to see him weekends. thought that was bad enough lol skarang 4 months plak. alahai nasib tapi like u say thank god for the kids :)
yes, and if yrs is too, then we both know what it's like. but then again, sometimes it's nice to have some freedom. SOMETIMES!
