Feeling thirsty

Since Carl started working his second job our time together and as a family is very limited. This morning we spent our time together over breakfast and Carl joyfully and graciously fed Ellie for me so I could eat. While we were eating breakfast I said to him "This will sound strange, but sometimes I think I miss you more when you're actually home. I'm not sure why that is?" Then my husband said something that actually clicked with me, he said. "Well, it's kind of like going without a drink of water all day and then finally getting a drink. You didn't realize how thirsty you actually were until you tasted the water and then you feel as though you just can't get enough."

I think its strangely wonderful how my husband can place into words my feelings when I can't find the words myself.

Needless to say we are eagerly looking forward to our date on Friday and to our family time this weekend because I think we could all use a little more to drink.
