While he is away

TH was out of town for most of this week.  He left early Sunday morning and got home late Thursday night.  I missed him!  Missed him a lot actually.  But it's funny how quickly I get into the groove of doing it all myself...... referring to the boys and just everyday life.  My parents are close by and help a lot but at the end of the day, it's me.  Just me.  Only me.  Tired me.  Ready to tackle the day me.  Taking the boys on an adventure me.  Cooking dinner me.  Ready to get the day started me.  Wanting 5 minutes to myself me. Texting the neighbor and asking for coffee because I needed a caffeine kick me.  ME.....Being the reoccuring theme here.  There were days I did good to brush my teeth and put on deodorant.  I might have washed my hair twice in the days TH was gone.  Once was at night and I went to bed with it still partially wet.  I washed the same load of laundry three times because I kept forgetting about it.  I handled it though.  Handled it quite well actually.  I, by no means, have it all together but I'm getting there.  Getting better and better....... I did thoroughly enjoy waking up this morning with TH in the house though.  His attempt to let me sleep in was pretty darn funny.  I could hear the boys demanding mommy.  Wanting mommy.  And quiet..... what's quiet?!  My husband is home so all is right with the world.  At one point when chaos seemed to be reigning over us, I asked with a smirk on my face, "Miss us?  Glad to be home?"  I said this is total sarcasm because LM and BB was climbing all over TH and being little pains in the rump at the moment.  TH looked at me with a small smile and responded, "I am actually."

While he is away, it is just me.  But when he's home, it's us!  And the two of us, we so got this.
