My husband is done with the bar!! Woo hoo!! He took it this past Tuesday and Wednesday and we are ALL glad he is finished. We hardly saw him for the past 2.5 months and now we see him all the time.
I have to admit, when a student husband who is normally gone and is then home for a break or whatnot, an adjustment period is necessary. Suddenly there's one more person around the house. A big person, not a tiny person like when Little Peach was born. Kids have two parents to answer to and listen to and play with instead of one. I'm not really sure whether to plan big fun filled family activities to enjoy daddy or schedule low-key days around the house to all be together. Or do I take the kids somewhere so Hubs can relax and enjoy peace and quiet? Then there're MY needs, aka ALONE TIME. We have to strike a balance.
I did have some mommy time this past week (thanks Hubs). It was amazing. I went shopping with my sisters and ate gourmet cupcakes. Another time I went to Target and walked around, looking at everything. It was delightful. I had a nap today, and twice Hubs has taken the two big girls to grandma's to play while I stay home with Little Peach (who slept and let me clean). Can I tell you what a difference that alone time makes for a mommy? It's astounding. Suddenly I have a ton more patience with the kiddos, I gaze at their beautiful little faces more, I remember my discipline goals better, and I'm excited to see them in the morning.
I also painted my fingernails. They are tangerine orange, which apparently is the "in" color this season for fingernails. I feel so on top of it.
