Killeen for some time alone...

DH leaves for Texas on Sunday. I really, really, really hope that he's right about the amount of time it'll take to do the job. If he's right, he'll only be gone six days (and will be back in time to go to the amusement park with M&M and me). I can manage six days, even with Babe not sleeping through the night (damn heat/cold variability thang).

(And, yes, Ginny, I hear you laughing and going, "Awwwww, poo' baby, having to deal with one child all alone in your own home." And yes, I agree with all that sarcasm. ;-)

Have I mentioned that I'm really looking forward to the Fall?

Well, managing is not easy, even with one child - I can't possibly imagine how my Mum did when three of us were little. Later I was there to help, ever since I was about seven, but before that... ::shudder::

Also, if I may ask - I feel silly asking, but - I've written a drabble in English. It's a Lost AU, with Boone as the central character. Would you care to have a look? No offence if you're not interested... ::foot shuffling:: http://novin-ha.livejournal.com/54801.html#cutid1

Sweetie, I would never laugh at anyone having to deal with any child or children on their own. As I said in my post when my husband was gone. I admire anyone that's a single parent. Be it a single parent of one or many, a single parent part-time or full-time or occasionally. :)

But I will promise you, you will be okay. I'll email you in a few. You can call me if you need anything, sweetie. I truly do empathize. When I had just Freak #1, my husband went to go work with his brother for about 2wks and left me here. My son was about 9 months old at the time, and still not sleeping through the night (picky little thing) and I nearly went insane. We'd been living here for about 18 months and still didn't really know anyone, and this was before we had a computer and the days of the Internet. I nearly went insane.

So, no, I'd never laugh over such a thing.

But you will survive. ;)

*crosses fingers* I hope that DH gets home soon too. You aren't being silly to worry about having to parent alone for a week. That's hard work even when you're feeling great and baba is sleeping like an angel.

*hugs*

LOL! I meant babe and not baba! *snort*

Oh, Ginny, I'm sorry for implying that you would be so cold hearted. It was just my reaction to thinking "woe be me" and then thinking about it, going... um... yeah, one kid verses four, and staying home instead of travelling cross country... this is absolutely no sweat comparatively!

I've done it before and survived, so I know it'll be okay. Actually, this time it might even be a bit of a break, as long as Babe sleeps through the night (not that DH wakes up when Babe does, anyway... grr). Somehow it seems easier when DH is gone for a little while. One less person to take care of, I guess. :-)

Thank you for the vote of confidence!

LOL! I never thought that you were saying I was cold hearted. :)

I know what you mean. Even with 4 kids, there were aspects that were easier with hubby gone than with hubby here. :)
