Well I have had a great weekend minus the Hubs. Yes I love him but I also love quiet time time for me to do the things I love. Connect with God my Creator, journal, yard work with no agenda (aka gardening), shop, sit and vedge, shop, did I mention quiet time? I think so. He left friday on a hunting trip... I think I needed him to go! It was like I had cabin fever, except he was the one that needed to go. I was so exausted it really can feel like having an extra kid around at times. But I think that him and I are blessed we have reached that point in our marriage where it is ok to say "DUDE!! Go away!!" lol in a very loving way of course with a mutual understanding we will both end up back at center! Truthfully I believe that this is why he works for me, I was raised in a way that if you were not in a good mood you go away have some quiet time and come back when you are all better! Im sure some therapist might have something to say about that maybe how it could be unhealthy but for now it is what works. P.S. We do not call each other Babe sweety snookems so on... DUDE really is what we call each other! The others make me want to barf! Sorry if you use them :/ feel free I wont judge just don,t expect me to understand ;) lol.
So friday was a great and productive day. The best part of the whole day though was not how much I got done but more what did not happen! Usually when JT has been home for a few days life changes elements in the house change schedule changes and my sweet young girls get use to having Daddy around. So when they wake up one morning and he is all of the sudden GONE it seems to throw a wrench in the engine we call life. There is usually back talk, arguing, and of course the occasional melt down. As soon as they realize the world is not going to crumble down around them and Mommy can handle things too, then we get back on track and go about our day. Friday when they woke up and he was gone I had one very small, emphasis on very, moment with my oldest and that was IT! I was so proud of my girls! Especially my second born "Boob" because she is still not old enough to get it and when Daddy leaves she usually thinks he is not coming back or some crazy thing, but when I told her he was gone and be back soon she replied with a simple "ok, can I watch a movie?" like nothing!!
Now its saturday night I am down two kids thanks to my wonderfully helpful Mother-in-Law and its me and my oldest having a much needed Mommy Daughter night. I told Alisa we can go to dinner wherever you want maybe a sit down restaurant? Where would you like to go? LOL You wanna know what she said? "You mean like Wendy's?" hahaha um well no I mean like ClaimJumper or El Torito? We some how ended up at Miguel's Jr. after dinner we were off in search of a movie. We ended up seeing Soul Surfer and can I just say WOW amazing movie very very emotional! But good. If you thought you might see it you should! We had some crazy conversations on the way home! I had God getting me through it... let em tell you I wanted to just say ok ok enough questions! When we got home I put on How to train your Dragon in hopes that it might clear Alisa's head a bit. I am pretty sure it worked as I type this blog she is laying passed out on the couch next to me snoring like a bear! All in all I am not quite reading for Dad to be home although I miss him I feel as if I might need an extra day. But an extra night is another story! So I have had a good weekend doing things for me I have come up for air and not sure but diving back down but here goes nothing. Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy!
