On my own...

So, Adrian is off to the races! He is at Bristol Motor Speedway with a group of guys from church. This is their annual trip and he looks forward to it ALL year long. I am excited for him..but dreading being alone with the kids for 4 days!

Most days I look forward to a relief (of sorts) when he wakes up at 4pm, then we can tackle the bedtime routine as a team for the evening. I am not looking forward to no weekend naps, and no "teaming" up. Oh well..

I am trying to NOT feel sorry for myself, as many of my sweet friends do this ALL the time and usually weeks at a time. Living in an Air Force town, I know lots of girls who are often on their own to deal with lifes many obstacles AND the kids :)

So, no complaining. AND..I might even find some time to scrapbook after the kiddos go to bed :)
