on my own

Raul left yesterday for Phoenix. He's working at Nascar. All is good at home. I think i'm getting use to him traveling and being alone with the kids. It only get's tough when Andrew has his little meltdowns, but last night was a good night. 

I'm trying to think of something to do on Saturday with the kids. It's supposed to be a nice day. I'm still afraid of going to the park on my own with both kids. How terrible is that? I think I picture the worst, andrew running off or having a tantrum. 

Yesterday I saw a mom with a newborn in a carrier and her son sitting next to her eating. I thought, "I can do that!" Well, maybe. I wish my kids would just sit and eat quietly.

I talked to a friend yesterday who's son is Andrew's age and he is high energy and likes to scream too. So, it's nice to know there's other moms going through the same thing.

OH, and we have our new swingset! I have a built in park at my house!  The boys love it. It's funny that Andrew only wants to go on the baby swing, *sigh*. He is totally regressing. Crawling on the floor like a baby and holding his arms up for me to pick him up. Just like Adam. Just a phase, right? 

I think i'll have a picnic lunch outside on Saturday. The swingset has a little bench for them to sit on! Brilliant!

Tonight is sloppy joe night. My co-worker gave me the fabulous idea and I bought my fixin's this morning. Today at lunch i'm going to Ralphs by my work to buy the cutest beach chairs for kids. Only $9 bucks and they look like animals!

Happy Wednesday!
