I love that so many friends of ours have told me that if I ever need any help while Brian is gone to let them know. I am really weird about who I leave my kids with as it is but when I want a few hours or even one hour on my own I feel like I am pawning them off on people to get away. I feel horrible! So most of the time if it is something I need to do outside of the house I just take the girls with me or if it can be done at home I just wait until naptime or bedtime!
On a lighter note I'm glad that I am the one to dress Ella to actually go out! Right now she is standing here in her dress with a long sleeve shirt, her jacket on and shoes with no socks or tights. Not to mention her hair looks like she stuck her finger in a light socket since she insists her hair must be taken down while she sleeps! And Ava is running around with her dress on and her shoes on (also minus socks or tights) on the wrong feet!
I'm so excited that a week from today Brian will be home for 12 days! I can't wait to spend that much time with him. I remember when we used to take time together for granted, but not anymore, we won't have that much time together after those 12 days which is depressing, but we will make it through! We chose for him to do this outage so that we could eliminate some of our debt and it will be a really good thing for us. I keep reminding myself of that when I get depressed that he will be gone so long!
I know the feeling... I rarely leave our girls with anyone but grandparents. BUT sometimes you should take them up on their offers... you NEED some alone time sometimes! Hope you & Brian have an AMAZING 12 days together! Hang in there!
