Home Alone

Sooo, the kids and I are home alone this week--anyone should feel welcome to come keep us company! 

Seriously though, come keep me company!

Today was Day #1 of my husband being gone. He's taking a class (and BIG test) and needs to be able to totally dedicate himself to it..which can't really happen at home. You see, 

 Daddy = mattress slides + tickle wars + romping around

It's way too hard to keep Kellyn and Jude away from their fun Daddy (to study) when he gets home from work.

I'm not going to lie..when I first found out he was going away for a week I was not happy. I was am worried mostly about my sanity. Some Most days I'm counting down the hours until Matt is home from work because..well..I'm tired and need a break. It's exhausting building forts, coloring, and using my imagination all day long. Hah! (You won't know til you try it!) Plus, I try to hit the gym and clean on top of that. Phew! It's a long day most days.

Aside from my sanity worries, this is going to be the longest Matt and I have ever been apart. (Yes, since our very first date!) Maybe I'm spoiled? Sorry to all you mommas who have traveling husbands..I don't know how you do it! I'm really gonna miss him.

But I'm trying not to think about that. I'm just gonna take one day at a time and focus on the positives:

I don't have to clean for FIVE days!

I only have to watch MY shows! (I'm sure a little Curious George will be seen too..)

I don't have to rub his back..or feet! 
Oh my!--just realized I don't have to shave my legs! 

Did I mention I don't have to clean for five days??!

This morning I woke up to this:

*sigh* 

I sure love him.

Matt,

I can't guarantee the house will be spick-n-span when you get home. I also can't guarantee your favorite Hershey kisses will still be here when you get home. But I can promise that there will be a very excited Momma, Kellyn, and Jude waiting for you! :)
