S.O. has been gone since early Sunday morning, to work in Santa Barbara - lucky him, 75 there 108 here. And I have been manning the fort although I could really use reinforcements. S.O. is due back NOW, about an hour ago and I need the relief. I need a shower. I need to stop saying "Don't fight/argue/hit/take things from each other or I'll... do something". And love them as I do I am tired of sharing the bed with two toddlers. I'm also tired of the tears for missing Daddy. It's hard and I am so thankful that he'll be here in just a few minutes... mostly for the kids because he makes them so happy. But for me because of afforementioned needed break...
This is nothing though, last summer he was gone for about 3 weeks total and I really began to appreciate what my mother did and why she said so often "Stop whining!"
Ah, tick tock, dude. I'm getting stinky!

As another travelling spouse this week, I applaud you and your stamina!
I came home to an empty nest. They went ax the sound today...
Ouch. I guess I'll stop complaining.
Isn't it annoying when you sound like your mother (or father) and you actually understand why!
Invite me down to play auntie and help you unpack! I'd totally play B team. Really happy for you guys on the house.
