I’m temporarily a single parent so I don’t have a lot of time to blog. BUT. I wanted to share the top 5 reasons why I hate it when Jeff travels for work…
5. I’m stuck taking out the trash at the end of the day. Taking out the trash is never fun but when you have a baby who has yet to be potty-trained and you live in a place where temperatures usually rise above 100 degrees, well, you can imagine how completely NASTY our trash can smells. That, and the fact that I have to veture outside in the dark where one of these days I just know I’m going to be confronted by a coyote or a snake or something.
4. It’s hard enough cooking for, entertaining, cleaning up after, and just generally nurturing four children with a handy helper. It’s double trouble by myself.
3. Every time someone opens a door and the security system beeps (to let me know someone is either coming or going) Jayce thinks it’s his daddy coming home from work and he runs as fast as his little feet will carry him to the garage door yelling “daddy, daddy, daddy.” It breaks my heart.
2. There is nobody to talk to as I try to fall asleep at night so it really throws my sleep schedule off. And, for the record, I’m not a girl who likes to miss out on her sleep.
1. Things like this happen mere miles from where his business office is.
Not. Cool.
Just hurry home, m’kay? XOXO.

I’ll hurry home baby! I miss you so much!! See you soon!
Praying for his safe return.
I’m sorry, I know that stinks. I hate it when Chris is away too.
And your trash issue – wow. Coyotes are way worse obviously, but since my dh wasn’t home yesterday and I had to take out the trash, I discovered maggots! O.M.Gosh. This is why he needs to be home to handle the trash.
I feel your pain!
And…boy do I know about those nasty smelling trash cans with two in diapers…ugh!
That was too cute Jeff!
Hopefully you are having a better day today!
Something I can’t imagine is dealing with Earthquakes, let alone dealing with them while taking care of 4 kiddos alone. Here’s hoping for your hubby’s safe return…and as quickly as possible!
Yikes!
I hope he gets home soon!
Oh, I’m sorry! I know how you feel. And…what timing, with that earthquake…my sis lives in LA so I know how worried you probably were.
Aww! Number three breaks my heart too. Was his business office impacted by the earthquake? I feel your pain. It’s tough to go to sleep when Hubster is on night shift. I try to stay up late cleaning house to keep my mind off of it.
Sorry you are missing your dh, hope he is home soon.
Keep your chin up and hang in there! It IS hard holding down the fort by yourself. Hoping he’ll be home soon. :)
it makes me happy when i meet people who love their hubbies. sorry he’s gone, but glad that you miss him.
I understand Girlfriend! When Daddy is away we watch lots of movies in Momma’s bed, eat lots of popcorn and then itch all night from the kernels…
Good trade though.
I’ll be thinkin’ of ya in the next few days.
Hang in there! I hope your hubby comes home tomorrow and that your family has a relaxing weekend together!!
