I know…when the kids are gone it’s so silent. I think it makes me hyper-aware of any other noises going on in the night. I can’t blame those on the kids! -)

You know what’s so strange for me? When my daughter was little I was divorced (I’m remarried now) and on nights when she was gone at her dad’s, I would feel more afraid. Why would I be less afraid when she was home? I guess kicking in that protector mechanism for her, left some over for me as well. The oddities of motherhood!

Let me know if you find any sure-fired defenses against them! So far I’ve managed to keep the aliens at bay, but… ya never know. =)

Oh, and p.s. I am working on getting my CCH because those same axe murderers and space aliens stake out my place too…

Dah!! You sound like me when my hubs is out of town! I feel your pain, so, so acutely! In fact it makes me dread his next all-weeker!

Hang in there, Mama! Just have as much fun as you can and throw that there schedule/routine thingamabob out the window!

Oy! It’s rough…

Hello there Mindy! See? Elk hunting…you feel my pain. But, yes, my hubby was in deep need of some away time and I think it’s helped a whole lot! He’ll just have to make it all up to me when he gets home! Thanks for stopping by and commenting!!

Hey, Christina, that helps immensely! =) And AS SOON AS hubby walks in that door I will be walking out that door for at least 2 hours. =)

Oh, just let the housework wait a bit and try and get that nap. I have always admired the way children can doze off anywhere. That might be a problem for me tho. LOL.
Hubby will be home soon from said man activities. They are mostly just there for moral support anyway….Teehee.

If it helps I can promise there are no axe murderers or aliens around your bedroom.

I feel your pain! As I type this, my hubby is driving home from a 12-day elk-hunting trip! It was supposed to be 14 days, but he missed us. We have 3 girls – 7, 10, and 13, so it probably wasn’t as difficult at home for me, but we did have soccer (for all 3), church, and drama commitments. Along with my full-time job! I just gritted my teeth & got through it, knowing how appreciative he was that he was able to get away for so long. Yours will be home before you know it!
