I am feeling much better today.
I had my nap when I got home from work and then we headed out to dinner (cause who wants to cook when grumpy). We were all asleep by 9:30 and we all slept soundly for a change.
I usually avoid blogging when I am feeling grumpy or down. I figure who wants to hear me complain. But maybe that is not the right way to go. My blog is an outlet for all my feelings, not just the happy ones. I should open up a bit more. I think it would make me feel better too.
My oldest son had gone to spend the week with his Grandma and things are very quiet around our house. Not that D is a loud kid, because he isn't. But the doorbell isn't ringing with our neighbour calling to see if he can play, and there is no arguing over TV shows. It feels strange parenting one child. I know M is enjoying all the attention but this morning he mentioned that he misses his brother. Last night he slept in D's bed, and this morning he took D's lunch box to day care. Kev reminded him that he will have to go back to his own things once D returns. Even though I am sure that part of M is enjoying D's stuff because he is usually not allowed to use it, another part of him is using it to keep his brother close. They may argue but they are loving siblings. With a 3.5 year age difference I was concerned they wouldn't bond the way closer age siblings do. But my fears were unfounded.
In a month or so BOTH boys will be going to spend almost a week at Grandma's house and then I will have no kids... What will I do with my time? Oh trust me, I will think of LOTS of things :)

Grandma ROCKS. I dream of having such a Grandma :).
And do feel free to gripe! I especially love hearing about the pregnancy stuff. Helps convince me I don't really want a fourth :).
pssha grumbling is part of blogging. Sometime sit helps to let it out (I have not cursed a driver today, not one!)
I cannot imagine being childless. My kids do not have grandparents that would ever take them like that. Cherish it.
how sweet. sometimes i feel sad that max will not have a sibling and not have that connection with someone. but he has lots and lots of friends that are just as close as siblings. or at least we are trying very hard.
enjoy the week of no parenting. sweet!
and if i didn't grumble in my blog, well, you guys would have a few more minutes to your day!
That is so cute that your son slept in your oldest son's bed and used his lunch box! Aww, seriously, he misses him! It does feel weird (and much easier!) taking care of just one child, doesn't it? But it's way more fun with both my boys! :) I hope you get a well deserved break/rest when your boys are happily entertained at their grandmother's soon! :)
That is very cute that he want to share/ use his brother's stuff. Good to know they might drive each other crazy but they still miss each other.
And I think it is okay to blog when you are grumpy. I sure do!
What's it like to be childless?!? Due to our circumstances I have only once been away from G for ONE NIGHT. I wouldn't know what to do with myself!
Grump away!!! Truthfull it makes me feel better when others aren't so happy. Mean, aren't I?!? It's that whole, not alone thing.
Ooooh a whole week!!! I wouldn't even know what to do with all that time.
