Vacaciones

No sólo de catalanes vive el hombre. También me pasaba largas temporadas en casa.
Cuando Eduardo, el...., Sí, !Ese mismo! No sé por qué se había tomado unas largas vacaciones, tal vez estaba sin trabajo o no sé qué. Así que a quedarme con el imbécil cada vez que Juan salía con sus amigos y mamá hacía los recados.

What does he mean "vive el hombre"? That they were gay or that they had a undisclosed man in the house or what?
What does he mean by "vacaciones" Who is away and for how long? Is the mamá away or Edwardo? It seems like it is mamá, but what tells us?
I assume vacaciones and los recados refer to the excursions during the day ie of hours rather than days as suggested. Is he just exaggerating.
Is it usual to say en casa rather than en la casa or is the meaning different?
