I just have to tell someone

[TooFarTampa]

Need someone to come rock????:wub: Too much empty nest for me. Thank heavens for the dogs.;-)

It is tough being parenting without a spouse. My husband was not home a lot due to work...not much funn somedays. Just know that it is temporary and something else will take its place.;-)

Someone remind me to coo at the baby more. That's all she wants to do. Coo, suck her thumb and look around. She doesn't even need to rock anymore. I forgot to relax and enjoy that part. She does enjoy being toted around ... she grabs my hair and gazes at me. It is sweet. Then I have to break the gaze and yell at ... I mean deal with ... I mean care for one of the boys.

The funny thing was I heard him talking to himself on the monitor, doing the play by play of what just happened. "Ohhhhh. I bothered Jack. Ohhhh. I'm on the floor. Ohhhhh. Mommy is so angry. Ohhhh...." He just can't help himself! He is a motormouth.

:funnmg, TFT, classic! Priceless, truly.
Yeah, I was feeling pretty Zen-like myself yesterday. That's what I get for patting myself on the back. :shock:

How many more days do you have? This is the longest it's been for me, I think ever.

I feel sorry for the little motor mouth, I was the biggest talker in class all through school. I will NEVER forget my first week of school . . . it was spent with me standing with my nose in the corner of the classroom. I became very proficient using 3 pencils to write-off 300 times, "I must not talk in class."

LOL Pea I am not worthy either.

I've surprised myself with my Zen-like calm several times, but I have also had some VERY un-fine moments. Like 30 minutes ago. Older boy needs to go to sleep to be in good shape for school. Younger boy loves to talk. They are sharing a room. Younger boy would not shut up; older boy could not sleep. I heard it all on the monitor. Several warnings later I swooped upstairs, picked little one out of bed and laid him down on the floor in Katie's room (I did give him a pillow and blanket). Gave him a dirty look and shut the door. :shock:

15 minutes later, his brother asleep, I put him back in his bed. He started talking to himself about Blues Clues. :roll: Help me.

I am dying here...:rofl: ..certainly brings back memories.

Stop it, OL! :nono1:
2 more days. TFT, a 10-day trip was my longest ever, too. I found surviving that trip kind of like working through the five stages of grief, particularly denial and anger. :funn:

I think one of the five stages should be chocolate.

Which reminds me, I have a chocolate chip cookie in my purse, left over from our trip to Moe's for dinner. Not sure how well it will go with the very stiff drink I'm having (forget that tea stuff) but I'm going to go get it right now. :clap_1:

You guys are making my night!
