DH is going away :-(

Just on a work trip at the end of the month, but he's going to be gone for an entire week (definitely Mon-Fri and maybe even Sun-Sat depending on when they end up booking his plane flights). It's a really good training opportunity and he'll have a very marketable IT certification at the end of it, but I'm a little down at the idea of being on solo parenting duty for a week.

I know a lot of women do it all the time (husbands who travel a lot or are in the military, etc.), and I'm sure it will be fine, but I'm still not looking forward to it. I'm a big ole wuss lol!

I know MIL will probably want to come over every day that he's gone...I hope I don't sound like too much of a b!tch when I say that I hope she doesn't - sometimes it's easier just to do something by yourself than with someone you have to train or who wants to do things differently to you, you know?

    LOL. But honestly, it probably IS easier to do it yourself =P

    Bummer on YH being gone, but I'm glad it's for a good opportunity! I know you'll be okay =) Maybe you can use the extra alone time with the boys to try teach them to say "mama" first =P

    LMAO good idea! Ben thinks they're saying it already - "No, honey, they're just making mmmmma sounds." Stick out tongue

    Actually, my goal is to get them to say Dada first. That way when they scream "Daaaadaaaaa!" in the middle of the night, I can say, "They want you, Ben," and turn over and go back to sleep... Hey, a girl can dream, right?!

  • i agree that not having MIL come would be better. it's easier to do things yourself than to get someone else to do things your way! sorry ben has to be away from you guys for a week but maybe you can use it as a way to convince him to be w/the boys for a full day so you can go enjoy a day to yourself later :)
