Is it wrong....

Is it wrong to enjoy away time from your kid?

I have been away from my 16 month old boy now for 5 days and I'm in heaven! I'm in a good mood all the time, just so happy to have my life back. I do love my child, but the freedom is so sweet. I do miss him at times, but 90% of the time, I'm glad he is away. Is there anything wrong with my thinking?

I will be rejoined with him tomorrow and we will then be on vacation at the beach for a week. Won't be a vacation for me - it will cause me much more work to take care of him in a different place. Ugh. I guess this past week has been my vacation.....

A Holiday!

Finally, a holiday weekend. It's been a long time since I have had one. I'm looking forward to it even though I have a ton of things to get done. Happy Friday!

I was wrong...

I was wrong, I admit it. I'm not wrong alot, but I'm wrong this time. I'm not just wrong, I am REALLY wrong.
I thought it might be good when my son gets sick b/c then my motherly instincts kick in - but he has been sick now for a week and I'm tired of it. I want him to be well again. I want to be able to sleep. He has infected me with something awful, and I'm really sick now too.
And, today is my husband's birthday. Happy Birthday! Sorry, honey. I do love you.

It takes a sickness...

Sometimes I think it is good that my son gets sick. He is 15 months now, and he is sick. He has pinkeye which isn't terrible, but he looked really bad last night - his eyes all crusted over. It just made my heart skip a beat. It made my motherly instincts kick in - trying to comfort him etc. I thought about just sleeping on the floor in his room to be near him if he needed me. I decided against that for I knew if he cried, I would be at his side in a second.
This morning I went into his room at 7am and he was standing up in his crib and gave me the biggest smile! And, his eyes were open - just a little crusty. I just got the biggest rush of love for him. I do love him.
I now have a sore throat - is it from him - I don't know? It doesn't matter, I still love him.

Don't you hate it when you are having a good day, actually a wonderful Friday, and something happens to ruin it? I was in such a good mood today. I don't know why, but I think it was because it is Friday and that always makes me smile. I went to take a nap (since I'm fighting a cold) and I put my son down for his nap too. He cried nonstop for 1 hour. Why? Nothing was wrong with him - he just didn't want to be in his crib. Ugh. So, I didn't get my nap and now I'm in a bad mood AND I'm tired. What a bad day....

My baby is sooo cute sometimes!

I go and get my baby from the crib (age is approx 14 months) and he has taken off his socks. Why does he do this? He drops them behind his crib. I pick him up and I say 'where are your socks?' I put him down and he immediately crawls under his crib and retrieves them. It is so cute! I should video that sometime. Today is a good day with him. I love him dearly....

Don't you hate it when your boss calls and tells you about this exciting new job opportunity - when you really aren't interested? My boss wants to cross train me in a new field so that I can have more billable hours in the future. I'm at 20% billable right now, so how can I say no? I really want to say no, but I didn't - I'm a wimp.
