I find that I am not in a very good mood and less patient and kind when I feel like I am not spending enough time with my husband. I miss him when he is really busy with work, or worse when he is deployed. It is harder around the house, for sure, but more than that, it is harder to be happy. I really, geniunely enjoy his company.
