How do you deal when your hubby is out of town?

Recently my mother in law passed away and before that, in the ending of May she had gotten sick and my hubby went to be by her side. He spend about a week away and as the days went by I noticed myself getting antsy. I sleep in the corner of the bed, I feel bad locking the door with the chain because I have this sensation that he's going to come in soon. It is like his presence is here even though he isn't. Last time he was away I realized that I spent quite some time shopping. I spent a few hundred dollars in stuff and I cried as I put things in my shopping cart because part of me knew that I was just shopping to make myself feel better. Shopping Therapy is real! I don't know what it is, maybe is the fact that we give ourselves a treat, something that makes us feel good, like for example, last time I bought myself a blender, and some margarita mixers. This time since my hubby left to the funeral, I have found a way to be out of the house every day, and I bought myself some make-up, about $70 worth of it. : P And everything I buy is thinking about him. I buy make up to make me these cat-eyes, that he likes so much and I don't know how to do. I have learned quite a few things about myself  that I didn't realize it until I have spent this time away from him. I enjoy sleeping with him in my bed, feeling his body close to mine, especially when he puts his arm around me. I enjoy watching certain TV shows with him, like The Voice, and White Collar, Modern Family, The Middle, etc. It is not the same without him. I enjoy having this time to spend it with him, even if we are only staring at the TV, even if I fall asleep half way. I find it so valuable to be able to laugh together like we do when we watch these shows.
Another thing I learned is that I like going out, I hesitate to go out sometimes because I feel overwhelmed with things sometimes, but once I block that I fully enjoy going out. I work part time, it's summer, girls don't have school, or homework, so there's no need to worry about getting home late. The only drawback is no time for chores. I want to be able to go out with my hubby more often. I used to be so concerned about my work before, but now, I don't care anymore, I do not live to work, that's something I learned recently about me too.
Because I believe we are constantly evolving, and the things that made us who we were 3 years ago, are not the same things that make us who we are today. And I know I am so different than what I was 3 years ago, and my hubby it is as well. We constantly need to learn about each other and be able to put the past behind us so that we can grow and bloom.

Men vs The Law of Attraction

The other day I was talking to my cousin and she was telling me how she thought that her friend was very unfair to her husband. She continues to describe how her friend's husband gave her friend flowers for Valentine's, got her chocolates, a watch, took her to dinner and bought her a perfume. Her friend was livid because the husband had bought her a perfume she specifically had mentioned months before that she did NOT like. She was failing to see all the good things that he had done for her and concentrated on the one thing that he did wrong.
My cousin told her friend that her husband had completely forgotten about Valentine's day, and that she has learned from experience that every single time her husband asks her for something she likes, he ALWAYS ends up buying the one thing she specifically said she did NOT like.
I told Karla that this phenomenon sounds a lot a like the Law of Attraction, because it is said that the Law of Attraction does not understand the words, NO, Not, Don't. So if you say I don't want to get sick, the message received is: I want to get sick and the same applies to anything.  The way to get what you want is by asking for what you want.
I want to get this perfume as a gift.
I want to stay healthy.
I want those earrings that we saw at the store.

If you find yourself relating to this situation, I want to hear about it. And the next time you see yourself saying I don't want this and that, ask yourself. What do I WANT? Ask and ye shall receive!
