I never realized how hard it would be to do everything by myself (and Jay was only gone a week, and I only have 2 kids...) I was definitely humbled by this experience. Jason is gone to work most of the day, so I did not think a few extra hours in the evening would be that much more on my plate. I was wrong. I had no one to take out my garbage, no one to carry my boys up and down the hill we live on (can you imagine me carrying 60 lbs. of my fatty babies up and down the hill, ouch!) no one to chase Clark around the yard and wear him out, and no one to roll my eyes with when Clark does something ridiculous. Sure my house was cleaner, and I got to have a car whenever I wanted, and be The Boss of everything (mwha ha ha ha)...but the boys were lonely without their Dad, and I needed my partner back. It sure is great to be a whole family again!
I hear ya on that one! Glad he's back home and safe!
