Too much of a good thing

As moms, there are many times that we pray for a few of these things:

  • a nap
  • someone else to cook dinner
  • peace and quiet
  • an hour of uninterrupted "me" time

Well, in the past month and a half, I have been privileged to get all of this, and lots of it, thanks to my mom, friends and family. However, now that my kids are gone for a whole week to spend some quality time with the other set of grandparents...the house is eerily quiet.

Am I wrong to want the chaos back? Don't answer that....I know, I know...I should relish in this week of rest and relaxation as I won't have much of that for the next few months after the monkey arrives!

Woohoo, Allie - 32 weeks - how wonderful! I feel for you missing the munchkins for a week, but it will be good for you AND them! Hope you get lots of rest!

Good for you! Pamper yourself silly!

I think of you often, because I too was stuck on bedrest. Take care of yourself girlie. Hang in there.
