The Bare Necessities

So I have resorted to blogging at school...this is my planning time, although I am pretty sure this does not fall under what my administration would consider the best use of my time. However, I am desperate! John left me on Sunday (by left, I mean not forever, thank goodness, just for the next two months as his new job started on Monday) and with him he took the computer-my only means of communication with the outside world of blogs leaving me with nothing to do at night except watch mindless television and attempt to converse with Bentley. I have started to get to school at 7am just so I can play on the internet and read up on my blogs! Pitiful, I know. In John's absence I have realized several things. A few weeks ago, we watched one of my favorite Disney movies of all time, The Jungle Book. There is a song Baloo sings about the bare necessities of life..."Don't spend your time lookin' around for something you want that can't be found. When you find out you can't live without it, and go along just thinkin' about it, I'll tell you something true...the bare necessities of life will come to you!" The bare necessities of my life have certainly been evident since Sunday night! My life/home is so empty without John to come home to at night and talk to(the phone is so different) and eat with and even just to watch tv with. He makes life so much more fun and meaningful for me. Just a week ago I was complaining about cooking dinner and doing the dishes and washing load after load of laundry and ironing John's pants that are impossible to iron (Carharts). Now I realize that I would give anything if he were home and I had to cook and do dishes and iron his pants!
