Harder than I thought...

So I swore I'd be more faithful about posting...but I failed to take into consideration the timing of my promise. At the moment I'm finishing out a 15 hour work day. I left my house at 8:30 this morning and haven't stopped working since. I had a 7-eleven hot dog for lunch sitting at my computer and totally skipped dinner. I woke the kids up at 8 so I could feed them breakfast before the babysitter got here. And they were sound asleep when I got home from the shop. I missed them so much that I actually crawled in bed with each of them for a few minutes. Lexi & Christian were out cold and didn't even notice me. Isaac was pretty cute, though. It went a little something like this:

"Mom, Hi!"

"Hey buddy, how was you day?"

"Great!"

"Did you like the babysitter? Did she do a good job? What did you do? Did you play in the sprinklers?"

"yep, and Daddy let us take a bath!!!"

I don't think I'd ever been upset about missing bath time before. I had no idea how hard it would be to be away from them all day. I know it's only temporary but it's difficult. I'll have to remember this next week when Larry's in Atlanta for 4 days and I have to bathe and put them to bed by myself every day.

Speaking of Larry, I feel the need to express how wonderful he is!!! This project with the shop is keeping me away more hours than we realized it would and he has picked up the slack without flinching. It's not easy to take care of our 3 kids after they've spent the day with a sitter and he's done a wonderful job. I love him more than words can express!

Okay, I'm headed to bed (it's midnight! and I have to be at the shop at 8). For those of you reading, thanks for letting me vent.
