Hum Dee Dah

First of all I wish to tell those of you whose blogs I frequent, I'm sorry I haven't really had time to comment altho I would like to more often :) When I get those 1 1/2 precious hours in the afternoon I have to alternate what I'm going to do with them.. most of the time sleep or dishes win out :) I just had to say that I was so excited this morning.. it was the first time my daughter only woke up once during the night!! I finally got a decent sleep and my son decided to be nice and only wake up around 7:45 instead of 7! Things are going well for the most part, altho my DS has finally started his adjustment stage.. and it's been a little difficult and frustrating and quite negative at times!! But we are trying to pull through :) I just feel like I need a day off tho, or even just a few hours but I know that's not gonna happen for quite a while, so I can just dream of what I will do when I get there - I just need a rejuve time... it's tough being a single mom that's for sure.. at least I don't need to worry about where money's coming from tho.. oh well back to the grind.. at least I have one thing to look forward too.. moms timeout at church tomorrow morning :)

Hey Ellen-er...thought I'd answer your question over here. :) Unfortunately we are not planning on coming to alumni this year...mainly because we don't have a senior pastor at church right now so jon is pretty busy, and plus it's the usual...he wouldn't be able to get off Friday or Sunday, so the only day we'd be able to come for would be Saturday, and we just don't think we'll be able to swing it. Are you going? I know...you should just...you know...accidentally drive the wrong way or something...and end up at our place for the weekend instead! haha! It'd be fun tho... :)

Ellen - I understand where you are coming from. I just went through 7 months of being a single mom while hubby was off working. I am lucky now as I have him back. There can be long days but when they get really rough, just give those two cuties of yours a big hug and it will help. I just had my first 5 hours off two weeks ago and I felt totally lost without the kids. How pathetic is that?

Hang in there Ellen! And you must be spuerwoman to drive to alumni with 2 kids! We won't be going this year, cause I don't feel like stopping every few hours to nurse Bria and deal with Rowan!
