Have I mentioned how exhausted I am? I am absolutely exhausted. I didn't tell you all that, not only did the babies and I have the flu last week, but Husband was in India...yes, India! I have said it before, and I'll say it again...My hat is off to all single parents out there, it is hard endless work. The babies are finally in bed, and after twelve days of single parenting for me, Husband is supposed to get home early tomorrow morning. Thank God! I had my moments of completely loosing my mind. After twelve days, I deserve a vacation...
On a side note, why is it that every time I turn my back, The Little Man has found his way into the cat food? I can't get him at all interested in dinner and yet he is double fisting the cat food into his mouth as fast as he can! Should I just give up and serve cat food for dinner?

Our kids ate more dog food than the dogs at certain points in their lives.
ReplyDeleteMy hat is off to you, and you deserve a break. Holy cow, single parenting while sick is not fun.
Take a vacation girl!! and I can't stop laughin at the cat food fistfuls image! Of course, would not be AS funny if it was my child.
ReplyDeletehaha!! Keep little man out of the dog food! It makes me sick!!
ReplyDeleteWe had the flu a couple of weeks ago too! What a pain! It's been good that your Mom has helped. Get feeling better, hon!
LOL about the cat food. I'm sure my parents felt the same way when I was growing up. I still remember how it tasted. Gross. I know.
ReplyDeleteTwo people I work with just got back from India. Both of them (on separate trips) got a respiratory virus that knocked them out for a couple of days. I hope your hubby comes back healthy.
Oh Little Man, don't you know that's not for YOU!! I mean, I know that Gerber "toddler" "food" smells and tastes similar, but you're just going to have to learn to be more discerning, mmmkay?
ReplyDeleteNW- I tty agree about the single parenting thing! WAY TOO HARD. I'm soloing it now and again later this month. :(
You definitely need a vacation. I tried single parenting for only a weekend and I felt like I needed time off after that!
ReplyDeleteI really admire all those single moms out there.
Kudos to you, toots. I think you are amazing and handled the single thing with grace...considering you had the flu. Hubby better be bringing you something good from India. And, I say you get a ski trip weekend very soon.
ReplyDeleteAlexis would have lived off of dog food if we had let her. I don't get the attraction myself.
ReplyDeleteI hope everybody is feeling 100% better in time for your husband to be home. It would suck for the homecoming party to include any flu symptoms.
What is it with kids and pet food?? Miss V loved dog food. She won't eat applesauce but I cannot keep her from the dog bowl! Glad to hear your hubby is coming home. Hopefully you can get a break soon.
ReplyDeleteMy baby ate dog food. I am posting about it tomorrow. I nearly called posion control. LOL.
ReplyDeletehang in there. I am so flipping tired too. Uggg... will I ever sleep?
Yes.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry things were rough. I don't know how single parents do it either. Thank God your husband is on his way home. Hopefully you can get a nap...
Gotta love the husbands they sure do make life easier.
ReplyDeleteVacation with lots of wine...sounds like that is what you need. Going it alone is never easy...no rest for the weary. Hopefully, hubby will give you some "me" time....upon his return.
ReplyDeletecongrats on a job well done -they're in bed. and, isn't it nice to get the man back too? now, relax and enjoy. Yay ;)
ReplyDeleteHi NW!
ReplyDeleteWell, I hope your husband is home by now, and that somehow you will get a little reprieve, and feel better!
Take care, my friend!
xoxo

Oh man! Our son has loves Meow Mix too!
ReplyDeleteI do not know how single parents do it. My husband was away for about 4 months and it was about to drive me crazy.
ReplyDeleteI am glad you guys are feeling better.
Single parents are amazing!
ReplyDeleteYou absolutely do deserve a vacation, nap warden! All alone for so long!
ReplyDeleteI have a Kindness meme that I've tagged you for. I hope you don't mind...:D
Oh man I feel your pain! My hubs has been travelling off and on for the past 8 weeks, he's only been home twice in that time span. And of course everything that could go wrong, did go wrong! But he is coming home Wed, to stay for a long while, and I haven't quite decided where I'm going yet, but I know I am getting the hell out of here!
ReplyDeleteoh me oh my...just thinking about being YOU makes me tired. ugh....hang in there.
ReplyDeleteThey do make cat food safe for human consumption, right? Yuck!
ReplyDeleteHang in there!
Ha! Guess it won't hurt him.
ReplyDeleteEwwwwwwww... cat food! LOL. Hope yall are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteWell, those cat food poopy diapers will be quite interesting. But then again, the poo might smell better? Or smell less? heehee.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better and the hubby is back.
My sweet Hubby has been gone in India & Malaysia for 12 days now too! He gets home on Friday night, and let me tell ya - I'm counting down the hours. I told him he could do most anything & I'd never leave him because I wouldn't be able to do this whole parenting thing on my own...exhausting, huh??? I'm getting a pedi on Sunday with a friend and CAN NOT WAIT!
