Update on us

PrairieMom wrote: if you guys will remeber a few week ago or so DH's grandmommy went into the hospital with a stroke. She passed away on Saturday morning, and DH flew down to NC for the funeral. I am so sad that we couldn't all go, but we were already planning a family trip down there, we are leaving on the 2nd, so we couldn't possibly buy tickets to be down there this week, then turn around in a week and go back. So, I am left here alone with the kids until Friday. it should be really interesting. I have never been left alone with The Boy for this long, let alone left with the both of them. DH would be in tears by now! He says he can't wait to hear what my first night putting them both to bed by myself is like. Okay, really... like I have never done that before. This week should be the ultimate test of my womanhood!

J-rod replied: sorry to hear...but good luck with the kids


i hear boys can be a handfull

jcc64 replied: I'm so sorry about Grandma. I don't look forward to dh's absences, but somehow, when you're the only game in town, you switch into uber-mom mode and it all gets done, sometimes better than when you're a team.

coasterqueen replied: I am sorry for your loss.

On taking care of the kids...you can do it. I never thought I could do three months, but I did. It may be difficult the 1st night but you'll do great.

A&A'smommy replied: I'm SO sorry to hear that!!! I hope your visit is as plesant as can be, and that your week alone is peaceful!!

prayers for the family

You will do just fine

PrairieMom replied: I'm not worried. It should be interesting tho. I think it will acutally be a bit easier you know? we can eat dinner when we want unstead of waiting for daddy to get home... less laundry and dishes... I can eat the foods I want... pluss bragging rights when it is over!

coasterqueen replied:
I must admit things ran a lot more smooth when Dh was gone that three months. Chaos entered the house the minute he got home. Which is weird because he really wasn't the one who caused it per se, hard to explain.

mom2my2cuties replied: Very sorry about the death in the family. But it sounds like you are gonna be able to handle The boy and the Girl just fine.

J-rod replied: wow you two make me want to email your DH's and tell on you. LOL

PrairieMom replied:
I'm not scared.

coasterqueen replied:
If you are talking about me ???? I've already told mine. He knows and I tell him all the time. I actually went on anti-depressants when he got back because the adjustment was just too much for me.

ediep replied: so sorry about your loss

MY DH is away until late thursday night too!

Boo&BugsMom replied: So sorry about your loss. I am sure everything will go great! I don't like it when hubby is gone for long periods of time either, but I must say my house sure stays clean when he's not around.

My2Beauties replied: Sorry to hear of your loss I'm sure you can handle the kiddos just fine, like you said and you can brag when it's all said and done!

luvmykids replied: I'm sorry about DH's grandmother. Hope things go smoothly for you alone, you might even get to enjoy some peace and quiet and pretend you're alone here and there

siblingtooolivia replied: I don't know about you but in my house whether DH is physically here or not is pretty much the same thing!!! LOL
