Husband Going Hunting....

Aaarrrrggghhh!!

My twins are 20 months and my DH is going hunting Wednesday for nearly 10 days with my dad, brother and brother in law in West Texas.  I know that I can do this, but I am SO NOT LOOKING FORWARD to it....older DS is sick right now, and all I can do is pray that LOs do not get it.  I know many of you do it alone, but I am so used to having help, that this is really going to be a challenge for me....I don't want to wish time away, but I wish I could click my heels together three times and he will have already gone and come home. 

Those that do this day in and day out by yourselves, any tips or words of encouragement?  I know it's going to be like the time I was home with them for the first time - thinking about it is actually a lot worse than it actually was...just gotta push forward and make the best of it!

    My DH was gone for 5 days hunting, not as bad as 10, but he goes every year.  I don't think DH has ever been gone that long, I think I would feel like you do.  Can you plan a bunch of activities to keep you busy?  My mom and I took the boys to the Zoo one day and that really helped.  Good luck.

    Well, thank goodness my MIL is watching the LOs on Saturday night so that I can take older DS to the city park about an hour away to look at Christmas lights and do a little shopping.  Friday night we are going to see Santa at our local shop at home on the courthouse square.  So, we do have some things to do.  The only problem is that my sister's husband is also going so she begged my mom to stay the evening and nights with her the entire time....and they live about 30 minutes away.  Sooo....we will probably go look at Christmas lights every evening after they eat and before their bath around 6:15 or so...that should take up some of the evening.  They go to bed around 7:30 at the latest.  It's the Saturday and Sunday that are going to be SUPER LONG...may have to just bite the bullet and take them to the mall by myself (again, everything is at least 30 minutes away) - but I may have to just to save my sanity and get out of the house!
