And not the relative kind. Really. Help.
I have learned some things from Tara's absence:
1-I stll love mommies and I'll be a momma's boy 'til the day I die and longer.
2-I will never be a single parent and will never wish that on anyone either-no matter how bad it might get. Call me stupid but either I can listen to her scream at me all day, or I can never have me time.
3-If I post #2 you're all wondering--does she really scream at me all day long?
4-I still really enjoy my 2 days/48 hours straight at work
5-You are now wondering-Are #2 and #4 directly or inversely related?
6-Gag reflex sensitivity is present at birth and continues until about 6 months. Somewhere between 18 months and 2 years it comes back for those who suffer from it.
7-Ila has also figured out #6 and continues to prove it. Sometimes in the car. Sometimes at the table. Sometimes all over Daddy's lap at the table. No wonder why she does not want to eat. Most of it comes back up.
8-I don't need Tara present to procrastinate.
9-I don't need Tara present to stay up late, but I do need her here to go to bed before midnight.
10-Better get some homework done. It is piling up

haha i was wondering how long it would take!
I think you are a special guy to give Tara eight days away especially at this time! Being at Ross's this same week, helping while she recovers, I can sympathize with your appreciation of life as you usually experience it! I love every minute of serving my family while realizing it is hard to step into someone else's shoes. And glad at some point to be back in my own! haha And isn't that a good lesson? To be reminded to appreciate our own life as we know it? And grateful for what others endure?
I knew you could do it. I knew it wouldnt be easy. Its almost over! hehe
Love ya mommas boy,
Mom
What a Guy!! I made GRahm do the same thing, and it went similar as ur situation!! That's hilarious!
Will, YOU THE MAN! I can't believe Tara left you alone for 8 days, perhaps she is the brave one. I know you and the kids will not forget this time of bonding. Aunt Robin
I love this post. Will, you are awesome. I go on a trip like this once a year (not for 8 days though--you win a prize!) I am one HAPPY woman when I come back. I hope it was the same for Tara. (and you.)
