single mom

Seriously, I feel like one. Between C working nights again the past few weeks and us only having him around a few hours from the time he wakes up until he leaves- then he worked yesterday day and went to sleep early on the couch- after I cooked, cleaned up, gave the kids a bath, pjs, and put them to bed. He then got up today and left by 6:15 and I get a call saying he also has to go to the night job again tonight b/c the fire alarm guy will be there. So the $ will be good, overtime is nice. Watching the kids all day everyday and night is not so much fun. I get exhausted. The up side to it- I don't have to watch sports tonight :) haha
However there are a million things I'd love to get done or do w/o the kids- but that will never happen. I have to face the fact that that's not my life, I don't often get a break. And now that we live far from my parents there is not even a chance to drop them off for an hour to do something real quick by myself. Oh well...maybe when we move into our new house we'll eventually find someone who likes to babysit once in awhile.
I seriously miss my kids lots when I am away from them, but jeez, breaks are nice. A good thing about summer coming to an end is they are already starting to go to bed earlier since it's not light til 10pm! So I can get a quick break in before I go to sleep myself. Last night though-ugh, they both woke up, it was a long night of little sleep!
Alright back to the kiddies!
