Cub Daddy has gone on an overnight business trip. Part of his promotion will be more traveling. I am not that happy about it but I know this is something he needs to do. Luckily they are only overnight or same day trips. There is only one trip that is 4 days long it is to Las Vegas but that happens next year. I totally dread that.
I am being selfish in a way because when he is gone I have to handle the boys by myself. On good days, the boys have behaved all day and I don’t have a problem with getting them to bed. On bad days, they are a nightmare. On these days I look forward to Cub Daddy coming home from work so he can deal with the kids. These bad days happen more often the good.
By the end of the day I am so tired I just want to curl up on the couch. It takes two of us to get the boys in bed. Now tonight I will have to do this by myself. I dread it.
I am also jealous because Cub Daddy will be getting a night of uninterrupted sleep. No Little Cubby waking up two to three times. No Big Cubby waking up and sleep walking. I told him to appreciate it. I have forgotten what a full 8 hours of sleep is like even 6 hours of sleep is like.
So what am I trying to say here? Nothing, I am just bitching and moaning to anyone who will listen.

Don't you just hate it when you don't have that back-up? (And those last few hours before bed are always the worst!) I don't know how single parents do it!
Tell him he owes you a night by yourself in a hotel when he gets back!
When my husband has days off, I consider them my days off, too. He bears the brunt of the load and lessens mine. I go shopping or I take a nap.
I totally dread going back to my teaching job at the end of this month. My baby's routine will be all screwed up and I might never get sleep at night, especially when I need it the most with going back to work and all.
We need to play the lottery or win some money.
