I can't believe I'm in charge.
There are some mornings, especially on school holiday's, that a feeling comes over me when my husband leaves for work. I'm a grown woman, I'm married, have 2 children and a mortgage and yet, once Rob leaves and it's me and the girls I have a tiny feeling of panic and think 'Oh my gosh. I'm in charge.'
Now it's not that when Rob is here we bow down and answer to his every whim and I relinquish my responsibilities. What I mean is, I'm the "Cruise Director" if you will. I'm the one to set the schedule, make the appointments, take care of all the emergencies that arise, cook and clean - you know, be a Grown-Up. And I'm fine with that. It's just that some mornings I get a panic attack and take an audible *gulp*.
I think I need a "play-date" at a spa :->
You?

I hear ya sister...tomorrow our break begins. *gulp* Three boys, Christmas jitters, not enough snow for sledding...
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely holiday babe!
A play date at a spa sounds perfect!
ReplyDeleteToo bad we are on separate coasts.. Joanie and I could join you at the spa. Sometimes I find it hard to believe that I AM the ONLY one in charge here.... 1/2 day of school tomorrow and then our break starts -
ReplyDeleteYes! I'll meet you for mani-pedis and massages! Just tell me when and where!
ReplyDeletePS- I feel this way about Benjamin ALL. THE. TIME. Like, wait, someone put me in charge of taking care of this helpless little thing, like, 24/7? Really?!?
Singing to the choir sister, singing to the choir.
ReplyDeleteJust think - Christmas break starting Friday. A whole 10 days with everyone home (Mr took vacation for the week also).
Can I get a moment of slience.
Hold me.
Whoever it is putting all us moms in charge needs to be fired. Or at least reveal their identity so I can quit. But then again....best job I'll never get paid for I guess.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas Ann, hope it's a good one!
The other morning, I pouted when my husband left for work and he laughed and said, "Life is too big for you, huh?" =)
