motherhood... sans kids

My husband is a Hero.  Of EPIC proportion.  OH sure, he doesn't support my running, but he's learning to tolerate it.  He thinks I'm a little crazy with the "cleaning out junk" purges I go on where I give away 40 bags of stuff and sometimes my apparent impulsivity drives him crazy.  (I'm not as impulsive as I look, I just talk so much that people are surprised when I do manage to keep my thoughts on a subject to myself for a mere 3 months... )  But why am I singing his praises today?

Because.  Once again....  For the second time in 6 months...  He went on a road trip with the kids.  I have classes, as we've previously discussed, so I couldn't go.  And now, here I am.  A mom.  Alone.  And... it's harder than it sounds.  My kids give me structure.  Seriously, who knew?

I always appear to be on Facebook (crackbook) to my friends, except that's just because I am in the kitchen w/ my desk for 3 meals and 2 snacks a day.  SO I can pop in, comment and get out... and be back 2 hours later.  But now, with my kids gone, my CRACKBOOK obsession is slipping.  A friend posted photos and I didn't. even. see. them. For like, 8 hours.  What?  How could that be?  

Good news though, H will be back on Sunday, and my father & his wife & their very sweet tempered cracked out OCD hyperactive border collie are coming to visit for a week.  A week.  (chewing inside of lip)  Did I mention they're bringing their dog?  So.  What am I saying here?  Don't worry Crackbook friends I will stop by more frequently next week.  And don't worry Bloggy Readers, I'm certain to have some good dog related insanity to share with you next week.  And if I don't, that'll be blogworthy as well.
