Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder...

Today is day 3 of Chris being gone on a work trip to Kansas City. You would think that I would be loving my time of being a bachelorette...ahem... with a 13 month old.

I mean there are a few pros of being a loner for the week.

The pros:

1. Fruit loops with marshmellows for dinner.

2. No one thinking that I might be a little messy when they get home from work.

3. Less laundry.

However, there are way more cons...guess that is why most people desire a mate in life.

The cons:

1. I had to haul the stinky trash can off the street.

2. There is no one to clean up Hartz's mess after dinner while I give him a bath. (It was still there even after he was sparkling clean in his jammies)

3. The cabinets remain open after I rummage through them and forget to close them.

4. No one for Hartz to wave bye to in the morning and say "da da" to...

5. When 4:30pm comes around I am still alone with a kid.. 5:30pm still alone.. 6:30..

6. No dinner conversation except trying desperately to get my kid to use sign language instead of screeching for more avocado.

7. Watching "Chopped" alone just isn't as much fun.

I miss my husband. There are a lot of sappy reasons too, but I will spare you.
