so jason has been gone all week at a work training in shelton. i feel like giving props to all the single parents out there. i only did it "alone" for 3 days, but i'm exhausted. i can't wait for a long nap or sleeping in on saturday!
it's always a growing experience for me, though. i feel empowered when i've conquered a fear, like staying home alone overnight. i have a way of letting my mind wander and i always freak myself out. too many scary movies when i was too young to watch them and playing "bloody mary" in mirrors with ginna! i'm always SURE someone is going to grab my legs from under the bed, and it's awfully hard to avoid standing by the bed in the dark when you have a baby who wakes up seven thousand times a night to nurse!
i also made it until this morning without raising my voice to the boys! this is a miracle! usually by the time jason gets home everyday it's his turn to discipline because i'm about ready to lose my cool!
i hate to be without my husband at all, let alone nearly a week. but, the boys have been amazing little helpers, and i'm really proud of myself for getting through it!!

So glad you made it through!
I'll call you tomorrow some time. Or Saturday. At least by Monday, k?
way to go crystal! i would go absolutely insane if scott left me alone for a week. i'm so glad the boys were good for you.
Good for you Crystal! I hate to stay alone also. Too much imagination. But you are right, it is empowering to know you can do it... but all the same you hope to not to have to! And hats off to all those single mothers. They are incredible.
