i think i'm a better mom when i'm on my own.
as opposed to when pat's home.
not sure how i feel about that.
i SO loved having him around more...loved seeing him and talking to him and even just grabbing a hug as we passed each other! it all felt so luxurious and FUN!
but i wasn't "on" as a mom so much...because we were doing it all together...and i can just tell i have a much different mindset today...much more on top of things...much more productive...much more intentional. i guess pat's never been around for as long as we had this Christmas so i've never noticed it so much.
but i guess it's a good thing that i'm on my own 11 of the 13 hours i have with my kids each day.

caught up.
that's all I'm gonna say, otherwise I'd talk your ear off ;-)
meeeeeeeeeeeeee toooooooooo.
and when he's going to be out of town i whine and complain like a giant baby, then i do a better job of balancing EVERYTHING than when he's home and helping.
i think its the leader in me. it's not selfish; it's just leaders function best when they are leading- at their prime. and that's me. sharing leadership is a stink energy-wise! so tricky...esp for those of us who get our energy from leading! :) that's me!
p.s. um, i like him home, too, btw. just to be clear. i also like those hugs :)
luxurious is a good word :)
only 11 or 13 hours is a long day by the way and when Dad's not around mom is always in charge. Finally catching up after the holiday break.
