Well, here we go. This weekend will be the first time that Marty will travel without us (he's playing in Albany, GA) and I am scared. I’m not scared of staying in the house by myself, anymore. We fixed that problem yesterday. When we moved in there was already an alarm system, it just wasn’t being monitored. As of yesterday we are now being monitored. We also had them put sensors on the windows not just the doors. I will say that I feel so much safer and at least one of my worries about this weekend is at ease.
Marty and I have been married 7 years this June and have spent 1 night apart. I know some of you are going what?!? I am going to miss him terribly but I am most scared about being alone all weekend and having all the parenting responsibilities. We have a way of balancing each other out. If something really gets to me, it usually doesn’t get to Marty. He’s the calm one when I’m upset and vice versa. Marty’s also the fun one. He can play with the best of them and never get tired of it. I hate to admit it but sometimes I just don’t feel like playing hide and seek again or go fish for the third time. I’m the nurturing one. When someone gets hurt, they come to me. When someone needs snuggles, they come to me. I can’t spend all weekend giving snuggles. I’m trying to come up with some fun things for us to do, since it’s winter and about 40 degrees, that rules out anything outside. I think I am going to take them to the circus either Friday or Saturday and of course we will take a trip to McDonald’s.
Abby is excited about being able to sleep in our bed since daddy’s not going to be there. When I was little I used to love sleeping in my parents bed when dad was out of town. Me, Shelly and Mom would all sleep together, sometimes even my cousins if they were there. Of course my parents did have a king bed. If Marty travels often, we might have to look into one of those because I’m sure Andrew would like to sleep with us too. And you can’t fit 1 adult 2 kids and a dog in a queen bed. Prince is going to freak out when he sees Abby in the bed, his bed.
I feel really guilty about being scared about being alone with the kids all weekend. It’s just something I’ve never had to do. I have a huge respect for single parents.

Thank you for being the great wife that you are, the wonderful mommy you'll always be and for supporting my dreams. I could not ask for anything more. Just remember..free mobile to mobile minutes. Yeahhhh!!
i guess you better get used to this! i am so much like you with the parenting...it exhausts me to do to much playing and entertaining with the kids. ella said in her prayers last night "thank you for abby, andrew, robyn and marty. thank you for silly marty." she had to add the silly part. so you are right that marty is the entertainer! :)
