So last week, my husband went out of town on a business trip. I had to get my tooth fixed and since my parents offered to pay for it, I decided to go over to their town to have it done. The day before I left, I decided that since my mother would be with me I might as well take advantage of her ability to care for the boys and see if I could get my hair cut. We thought her just watching the boys while I got my hair whacked would be a good idea. Well come to find out not so much, pnut freaked out! Big, HUGE scene in the middle of the salon. I was so embarrassed. It is good to know that the hairdressers didn’t mind though they really seemed to understand. I just needed to get my hair cut and since my last hairdresser did such a horrible job I knew I needed to go some place new. My mom said hers was really good, so I opted to make an appointment with her instead. I am so glad I did. I love my hair, just a little upset that pnut was such a bad kid. Maybe it was the fact that we had just been driving in the car for two hours straight and just did make it in time for my appointment. Who knows.

For the most part though pnut was mindful and did a great job. No major melt downs except for the salon incident and a mini meltdown while I was getting my tooth fixed. But I will tell you one thing, I was so glad to get back home on Friday. I was so exhausted for taking care of two kids on my own for a week straight. I give huge props to single parents, you are a lot stronger than I will ever be.

Overall the visit to my parents home was a good visit but very busy. Lets see, I left last Tuesday, an hour after being there we went and got my hair cut and ate lunch. Then that night we went out to eat at the Olive Garden. The next day I got a filling filled in my tooth and then on Thursday we watched the Veggie Tales movie at the theatre before I drove two hours back home.

I wasn’t home when my husband came back home from his business trip but I was so glad to see him when I did get home. We both missed each other so much. It is good to hear and feel that your husband misses you when he is away. That is perhaps the best feeling in the world. As stressful as it was to be alone with two needy boys, it was a good experience to go through but not something I would like to do every day. I think I like to split the child duties with the husband that is for sure.
