What not to do when your spouse leaves the country

I thought I'd do a follow up of my older post, "What to do when your spouse leaves the country."  I found that our life is very different with Darin is gone.  We spent our time doing different things which meant we also didn't do some things. Here are a few ideas of what to not do.

Don't do any cooking.  Who says you can't live off granola bars, chips and cereal?  Everything is enriched with vitamins anyway.  Include some peanut butter and you've got protein.  It also helps limit dish usage.  Why have I not tired this before? 

 Don't go grocery shopping.   I think I should take advantage of the empty fridge and clean it.  

Don't do laundry, just dig out what you need from the pile left on the floor from when your kids folded it.  Sad and messy, I know.

Praise God my husband is coming home tomorrow.  I can't wait to meet him at the airport.
