Patrick left for Toronto tonight. Sigh... I hate hate HATE being alone. Actually, let me say that in a different way. I don't mind SOME parts of it: like not having anyone else to lobby with or agree with in parenting, or having total freedom of our nighttime routine (not noting when Pat gets home, etc.). And some parts are horrible: like NOT HAVING ANYONE ELSE TO PARENT WITH, and having total responsibility for our nighttime routines (with no breaks when Pat gets home). See my point?
Anyway. I have just finished helping Justin and Evan "discover" dinosaurs that were buried in plaster eggs. Oy, the mess! I just bathed them, too!!! We now have plaster on our foreheads and on my camera, but I don't care. They were clean at some point today. That's all that matters.
So, I am awaiting my hubby's call to know that all's well with his flight. He should be landing in the next hour... I hate this. HATE it.
Night.
Oh! Please continue to post any songs you can think of on my previous post. I'd really appreciate it!

Wow, what an odd coincidence...my DH is leaving for Toronto tomorrow. I hate it too!!! Before we had Owen I didn't mind too much, except for the worry about the plane crashing, but now it's not near as fun. I did buy some evil chocolate Ben and Jerry's (Vermonty Python...mmm!) that I can eat while I'm feeling sorry for myself. :)
Aww, I always feel JUST like you when my hubby leaves. It's like you enjoy SOME parts of it...but even those things you only enjoy for about the first day or two. I just always get lonely...the night time is the killer for me. Kids are in bed...and that leaves me with nothing to do! I think I usually end up in bed by 9:00 p.m. when hubby is gone. Makes the nights go by faster! LOL
I always sleep with all the lights on when the hub is gone! It freaks me out!!!
I am the same way. It is hard when they are gone and then there are challenges when they are around also. I think a break is good, but still hard. I just don't like being alone ANYTIME! I like people to talk to. That is just me though. I know LOTS of people that THRIVE on being alone. For the most part, I like the hubs around!!
I know your pain. My bones are aching after four days. My husband is coming home this evening for two nights and then is off again. NOT looking forward to it BUT I refuse to parent for those two days. I need a break.
I had to comment about your songs request... because I share the montage love :)
