Pro's and Con's

When you're really in tune with your significant other, you know their are times when  it is beneficial to be apart.

For Motivated Mom and I, lengthy indoor home improvement projects are such a time.  My focus is on getting every detail just right regardless of the time involved - Motivated Mom's focus is on wrapping the project up regardless of the "behind the scenes" details.

So I know it's good that Motivated Mom is not in residence during the current home overhaul.  Still, at dinner the dining room table seems two sizes too big and when I turn off the last light at night the bed is noticeably empty.

The thing about being married to your soul mate is.... you need your mate around to feel complete.
