confession

Don't know if anyone remembers that I mentioned a while back that Ben was going to be going away on a business trip and I was dreading it. That's this week - he left 2 days ago and returns tomorrow night.

I've been on solo twin duty 24/7 since then and I'm secretly relieved and maybe even a little thrilled that I'm going to work tomorrow while MIL watches the boys. I love my little men more than anything, but I REALLY need a break.

I have no idea how single moms do this. My hat is off to them. Seriously.

    I don't either!!!  And hats off to you for handing twins solo for a whole week!

     

    I'll add a confession of my own....

    Starting next Wednesday I have two weeks off of work.  While I'm ecstatic to be able to spend a ton of time with Henry, I also have recently told daycare (which we have to pay for anyway when I'm off) that he's still coming for 2 1/2 days the weeks after Christmas.  One day to spend just me and MH, a half day so I can go to the doctor and dentist unencumbered, and one whole day for me to spend by myself however the heck I want.  I'm thinking of going to the movies.  Big Smile

    I think it's so important to have time away from the kids.  I feel like I'm a better mom when I have down time & am less stressed.

    Right now though, I'm having a hard time "having" to have help taking care of E while I'm recovering:(  Yesterday I was trying to walk into the kitchen and E just stood in front of me with her arms up saying Mama! Mama! and wanting me to pick her up, I couldn't. I nearly cried. 

    Arrived 4.5 weeks early due to PROM

    ditto on the hats off to you for handling them 24/7 on your own! 

    I'm sure you are ready for a break!!

    Don't tell, but this was one of the reasons I'm excited that we have Thursdays at the daycare now. I'm thinking of asking them if we can start bringing in the boys (and paying, of course) before May, partly so I can have a little "me" time occasionally, and partly because I'm starting up my Master's again next Feb and the extra day to study unencumbered would be nice.
