On my own

Mom left today.  She flew home leaving me all alone with 4 kids.  Oh, and a husband.  Right.  I've been repeating to myself over and over, "I've done this before, I can do it again.  It gets easier.  I CAN do this!"  And it is all true.  Still, that doesn't stop the anxiety from being there. 

We've had a good visit.  She flew in two weeks ago.  She was only going to stay until last Friday but since little C didn't come as quickly as we'd all hoped, she decided to extend her flight out to today.  I'm sure glad.  It has been so nice having her here.  The best part?  In the morning, I don't have to get up to make breakfast and get the kids ready for school.  Tomorrow morning?  All me.  Oh yeah.  Bring it on!

She was able to go to the Green Eggs and Ham breakfast at D's school.

We're all grateful she was able to come and that grandpa was able to let her come!  I know it is a sacrifice for both of them and I appreciate it.  I'm thankful to have supportive, loving, helpful parents.
