As one can infer from my blogspot title, I am not the happy, sappy sahm-type. I wish I could look at each moment with my kids as a gift to treasure, but I think we go for quality instead of quantity, otherwise it's not so quality :) I'm exagerating a bit but anyhoo...Eric went out of town Sunday afternoon for training and returns tonight (Friday). Now, this is not such a long period of time, I am aware. I think of my friend, Andie, who goes for months without her husband when he is deployed, or even my sister-in-law whose husband is often gone during the week for work. However, as previously mentioned, I am not one of those super moms. So, this was the longest I've been as the sole parent day-in/day-out without school or work to save me. Do I sound like the worst mom ever? Nah, just more honest than most. I was afraid I'd get stuck in my depression or the tv (which happened at times) but for the most part I'd say we had a pretty enjoyable week.

pork chops for when Eric gets home
And the whole time we've also been working on
lol. he's almost 3 1/2 and would never be potty trained if it were up to him. We've had some accidents but also some successes so I'm pretty happy and proud of my little man.

Looks like you had a great week. For what it is worth the short periods of time are far worse on me than the long ones... I know that doesn't make sense but there is an overall preparedness you go through when they are gone for a few months that you don't go through when they are gone a short time. Maybe it's because a few months gives you a chance to miss them and remember all the very wonderful times while the short times irritate you. At least that's how it for me. Glad he's coming home tonight!
