Possessive

This time of year, my husband spends a significant amount of time traveling. He has been working out of town or in-transit for 41 of the last 67 days. During that time, 9 of his days "off" have been spent with extended family. When he's not on a work-related trip, he spends a lot of hours sequestered in his home office doing all the stuff people with high-responsibility jobs have to do to keep the cogs spinning. He is also in the dissertation phase of his doctoral program, it goes without saying that this is a serious time commitment. In his "free" time, he devotes himself to church service for which he also carries a significant amount of responsibility.

While all this is going on, during the day I'm a single parent and at night I'm doing data entry, so when he gets back he can spend an hour or two a day with the kids and me.

Resuelto, right now is not a good time to test my patience by telling me how spoiled I am that my husband has 5 days next week during which he doesn't have to travel. Consecutive even. I think at this point we've earned it. But if you do want to make something of it, I'm sure I can scrounge up some time (between scratching tally marks into the walls to measure my days as a laundry wench and chauffeuring kids around) to do something passive aggressive...like maybe I'll bake you some brownies that will turn your pee blue for a few days.
