"They can't all be happy" March 2012

"It was like living as a King in my own castle"

June 7, 2008

The above is a direct quote from Chris in the few minutes I saw him as we crossed paths in the airport today.  I must admit, it wasn't exactly the reaction as I was going for when I asked him how his 4 day experience watching 3 kids was!!  How come he didn't look like me after a few long days with the kids by myself, ready to crash and this close to losing my sanity??  That would be the "mom factor".  Yes, I've been lucky enough to have my own mom on countless occasions these past few months and it has been heavenly and this time Chris got quite the treatment!!  His mom came to his rescue!  Here I am worried that he won't be able to get through it, and I hear he took the occasional NAP!! I'm pretty certain the last time I took a nap was when I was in the hospital and it was only because I had taken an Ambien!  I think I was secretly hoping he would have to deal with the early wake-ups, constant fighting, pick ups, drop offs, and temper tantrums all on his own, so he could get a taste of my life!! Oh well, it enabled me to go on a incredible mini-vacation and gave Chris some quality time.  It also just means I may have to do it again soon....

Thanks Mom (and Dad).  The house was perfect when we came home and Chris looked very relaxed and happy, which I am very grateful for ( I think?)
