[...] Today, bright and early (well - bright and early for ME), my hubster headed out of town to pursue the American Dream (a job interview), leaving me all alone to deal with my conflicting feelings toward being all alone. [...]

I never appreciate how much my hubby does until he works late or has to go out of town. It is hard doing the single parent thing!
My solution to bringing the youngest to the grocery store: Leapster. With Headphones. She’s in her own little world - *learning* - and I get the groceries done. Everybody’s happy.

This made me smile. I feel quite confident that you are more than able to do a wonderful job with the hubby gone.

Your 4 year old is so funny. Every time you tell a story about him, I crack up. He is a handful!

Here’s a story for you! A few years ago when I lived with my mom, my cousin and her 3 kids lived there, too. The oldest girl had been in school, so we took the 4 year old and 2 year old grocery shopping. WELL… it was the dead of winter, and Bianca (4 yr old) HATED sneakers and socks. So she wore her red sequenced shoes in the snow, with her coat wide open to the store. She couldn’t get something in the store so she had a complete melt down. It was SO funny, yet so embarrassing. She laid down on the floor in the middle of the aisle, screaming and spinning herself in circles. I will never forget it. LOL. Because of this, I will never take my kids shopping - ever!

I went shopping last night too but I didn’t take the 4yo. Our local Safeway likes to put the tubs of RedVines on the bottom shelf of every end-cap. So, to avoid the fits, I just leave him behind. As I was walking down the aisles last night I was thinking, “how sad, the first day I get out of the house, I go to the store…how mom-of-2-of-me.”
And you know what, Matt and I have the same arrangement with the babies in the night and in the morning. It’s not unfair…it’s called 50-50.

I also have a husband who does a ton of housework, I think I would freak right out if he left for a week. Surely the house would look like something exploded.

WHO says children should go grocery shopping? Are they INSANE? Yes, yes they are. My son only goes grocery shopping if both of us are going to the grocery store (which, actually, happens more often than not.) But, if only one of us is going, the boy does not go. Yikes.

Good luck this week!

I’ve been reading your blog for about a month now, but felt compelled to comment today. I too am blessed with a very capable hubby who definately does a lot for our household. I’m beginning to have a bit of a panic attack at the thought of him going away for four days next week, and we only have four children!
Hang in there!
