Ellie might pee in the middle of a store.
Little boys make LOTS of extra mischief. Most of which involves the hose.
A pile of toys forms for Daddy to fix.
Mommy gets to drag a kicking, screaming little girl through the church pariking lot because she doesn't want to leave while threatening the boys through gritted teeth if they don't startwalkingtothecarNOW!
Dinner with my inlaws feels like a gift from on high.
Clothes never quite make it from the laundry basket to the dresser.
Ellie can be caught crying out, "Grandma! Hold you!" when told to go to bed.
The two hours of child-free Women's Bible Study rank up there with the second coming.
Jon has been at a conference in Michigan for six days and is coming home today. I've learned one thing about myself in the last week: I would make a miserable single mom! I will proudly admit in this house we rely on Daddy and I can't do it all myself.

This is so true! We miss our Daddy when he's away!
ReplyDeleteI don't believe any of it; your kids are perfect!! Esp. your daughter....
ReplyDeleteAnd, yep. Those things ALL happen in this single mama home. :)
ahhh I only have one and feel your pain when the hubby leaves! I'm afraid I might lose my mind!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! I'm thankful Mark hasn't left me since we added exponentially to our household!
ReplyDeleteAww they're cute, they could never throw fits!!!! My husband left for 4 week long trips for work 2 weeks after Liam was born. The first night all 3 of us were crying, our large mastiff launged over the car seat while Liam was still in it, and the washing machine broke!!! I knew there was a reason that parenting is a "team sport" and we are much stronger together than separate!!! Glad your farmer is almost home!!
