Andy is home! He left town on Tuesday, and the week has been freaking TOUGH. Kids and I were sick some of the time with Claire's weird stomach pains. Andy was full-on pucking his guts out on his trip, so I count my blessings. By today, I was openly threatening my kids' lives in the halls of the church. With witnesses.
So when Andy walked in the door (with chocolate), I walked out (with chocolate.) I went to my mom's to get a break from those children of mine. Gabe has just become nuts. I call him Nutsy, in fact, during the day. Hey, I KNOW he's spoiled and it is my fault, I got it, you ain't gots ta tell me. But, as Charlotte told half the parking lot at church today, he's driving me BONKERS.
What will I do this week? I mean to get out of the house in the evening to recharge after being left alone with my offspring for 5 straight nights. Well, I imagine I will see a lot of my mom and sisters. Somehow, their kids never get on my nerves like my own. [Okay, in the event that one of my kids has grown a bit and is reading my blog, this is all said with love. If you are already a parent, then you know. If you aren't, withhold your judgement until you are, got it?] Maybe the vanity I ordered for the half-bath will arrive this week, that's always something to look forward to. And I borrowed a book from my mom's house. And I stole her tv guide from the paper. Looks like I'm set! With the cream puffs my sister-in-law made me, I can stay occupied for days!

Young children and dad out of town are not a good combination! I don't blame you for leaving as soon as Andy walked in!
Save some time for me somewhere between February 18th and 26th!
I can completely understand being stuck with your kids alone all the time. With Mike working, going to school and doing homework all the time, that means Jasper is mine all the time. It is hard work being a mom!!
Enjoy some time off for me too please :)
How did you train Andy to come home with CHOCOLATE?? Give me some tips for Geoff!!!
kris travels a lot and it's HARD. i hear you loud and clear.
Husbands should always come home with chocolate after a long trip. in fact, I think the longer they are gone the better the present needs to be! Gary is going to be gone this weekend, hmmm, I better remind him to bring me some chocolate!
