My hubby is out-of-town and will finally be back tomorrow. HOORAY! He has been gone for a week at scout camp. Thankfully he has a job (and a life) that doesn’t require him to go out-of-town very often.
I find myself quite unmotivated without him around. I worry less about the house being clean and meals being cooked. Poor kiddos! This time two of the boys are out-of-town as well. And the sweet Miss 16 has been busy working. I have been busy trying to keep mr. 8 entertained.
However at night, I have a hard time sleeping without my hubby. So I have been taking advantage of this week to read. I read fast, really fast. I love to read. I have been reading mysteries this week. Some mysteries are scary…without the hubby in-house, I have NOT been reading any on these. Instead I have been having fun reading the corny and funny ones. Ones that are about dogs and knitting shops. Caterers and comediennes. I have probably read 10 books this week, okay maybe more. I have been to the library a few times to get some new ones. Thank heavens for books and reading! They help keep my mind occupied when I cannot sleep and help pass the time.
Now back to cleaning the house, the hubby comes home tomorrow! And if the house gets clean, I can read another book.
I’m the same way when my husband’s out of town. I miss him a ton, but the break is kind of nice. 🙂 What scary mysteries do you like to read? I’m looking for something scary, tense, but relatively clean.
I love Mary Higgins Clark, but I have read all of hers. I also enjoy Sue Grafton. For more light hearted mysteries I read authors like Joanne Fluke, Jessica Beck,or Laurien Berenson. A good website that I use to find new mystery series is http://www.cozy-mystery.com/. I like her description of cozy mysteries especially that they are more light hearted and don’t usually involve gore or ‘adult’ situations. I also like that most of her recommendations are series books.
