So far Adam has been gone 5 days and we have experienced 2 soccer games (one it drizzled the whole time, the other Aidan through a fit), dog having diarrhea, 3 months pictures at Sears, a rainy day playdate, a trip to Target, a baby with a snuffy nose, church with all 3 kids for the first time by myself, and an adventure (Aidan's word) at the Virginia Living Museum. Not to mention about 2o fits, 10 time outs, a million "stop doing that," "don't touch your sister," "she is just a baby be gentle," and my favorite "just wait until I tell your daddy" (doesn't work well when he doesn't come home every night. I have made it through by consuming a lot of pumpkin spice lattes (Thank you Starbucks), some chocolate (for me and the kids), letting them watch a little bit more tv then usual, playing tickle monster, reading a lot of books (to the kids and for myself), and take very hot bathes, and getting all of their kisses and hugs!
Can't wait for daddy to come home, so I can take a nap and have a glass of wine!
