Context: I had a rough day, my husband has been out of town and the weather has been bad. 
Speaker 1: It's been a long week! My husband has been out of town and its been just me and a cranky toddler.
Speaker 2: Will he be back soon?
Speaker 1: I sure hope so! He's in the military so I never know when he'll get called on a mission :(
Speaker 2: Okay, I see. That must be hard.
