Single Mom for a Week

Frank took off for a work trip to Maryland this week. If he was having any fun whatsoever I might be jealous, but he's not. I am realizing just how much I like having him around. Its a tough job doing the parenting all alone, and I'm grateful this is temporary. We have survived the scout blue and gold banquet, two sleepovers and two BMX races so far. I made it through Sacrament Meeting but not Sunday School today. Tomorrow we go for FHE at Grandma's and then Frank comes home on Tuesday. Hooray!

The BMX race on Friday was actually quite exciting. Colin and I went while Sydney babysat Atticus and Axle. Colin took first place in the qualifier and then another awesome first place in the main event race! I was so thrilled I couldn't hold the camera still! Colin was on cloud nine. They say winning isn't everything but it sure does things for the self-esteem. The Saturday race got him a second place but the trophy was so huge he wasn't at all disappointed.

Sydney and Colin paid a visit to their old school on Friday. They were welcomed with cheers and hugs from everyone. I hope they eventually feel that loved at the new school. While waiting for them I drove around the old neighborhood. No sad feelings for me as I passed our small little house! I miss the friends but am so in love with my new house now.

  1. I know what you mean about needing your hubby. I went home to visit for a week and enjoyed seeing my family and friends, but I was anxious to get back to my husband. Glad you're liking your new place so much!
