My husband has been in VEGAS since sunday morning.
He left at 6am so let’s just call that Saturday night.
My *almost* four year old has become obsessed with his birthday.
Where is my cake Is my cake ready?
Are you getting my cake
Where is my cake?
Are we getting my cake?
Where is my cake Is my cake ready?
Are you getting my cake
Where is my cake?
Are we getting my cake
Oh, and his birthday? JUNE 19th.
Shoot me. And the cake while you’re at it.
He seems to have woke up with a cold today. That rocks.
My older son ate a box of Lucky Charms for dinner. A whole box. Like there’s one rainbow marshmallow stuck in the corner. Of course, maybe if I wasn’t laying down trying to keep my head from exploding, I would have noticed.
I showered on monday. Today is thursday. You do the math.
I’ve eaten 3.5 donuts. Today.
It’s looking up. To the sky, where Scott should be getting his ass on a plane any hour now.
Smelly or not, I’m ready

This was a comment I left on Harpers Happenings. She was encouraging people to complain. So I did. There and here. I’m an equal opportunity complainer.
I’ll shut up now.
Or I won’t
PS. My husband should not underestimate his level of caffeine for this weekend.
PPS. I may dump pixie sticks into my children’s breakfast right before I grab my car keys
“Geez honey, I have no idea why they are so crazy. They must have really missed you”

Update:
The house that was rented in Vegas had fleas.
Rough week many. Definitely go with the Pixie Sticks and run out the door idea.
Yikes!! Holding down the fort by yourself is just plain hard. If it makes you feel any better, my kids watched a TON of TV this week while my husbnd is out of town. Hang in there!!
What happened to that other half of the donut?
HaHa! giving my kids pixie sticks (except for maybe DS) and running out the door is totally something I'd do too. DH sometimes underestimates what the heck goes on any given day. It's controlled chaos really. hope you all feel better soon!
Ummm……my birthday is on Sunday – WHERE'S MY CAKE!!
Please sprinkle with pixie sticks. Obviously!
I'll give you cake. LOTS of cake.
I could totally sustain myself on Lucky Charms alone. Nom Nom. Nom nom
i ate 8 mini snickers because I was too lazy to pack a lunch to take to work and that was what was in my desk drawer.
and my husband is here.
don't make me think about what it would be like if he ever had to leave.
lucky charms for breakfast is manna from heaven. For dinner? there are no words
haha, I have you beat because my daughter's birthday is june 29th and she can't shut up about it either! Plus, she switches from wanting a really big cake to cupcakes. Um, make up your mind???
Love the pixie stick idea.
Coincidentally, my husband left at 6:15 a.m. Sunday morning and is about to get on a plane to come home.
I had baked beans for dinner last night. Which is an improvement over the jelly beans.
Also, I don't know what my kids had. It's Lord of the Flies around here.
I feel your pain. And I'm jealous about the donuts.
I tell you my husband is USELESS…until he's not there. Thankfully he doesn't leave much :)
Oh, you poor thing. You should have gone for the extra half donut, though.
I pretty much dissolve into a puddle if uselessness when my husband skips town, too.
Although we much prefer Cheez-Its for dinner.
And you *only* ate 3.5 donuts? Don't you know you get 2 for every day your husband is gone?
Ahhhhhh!!!! These men and their "business trips," Gah! It's okay m'dear, Blogher is on the horizon. You will have your revenge.
Oh! This wasn't even one of those. This was a full on guys get away. Blogher will be mine. All mine.
I like the idea of pixie stix. I think i should do that to the wife's tea and see if that perks her up from her cold.
I don't know why you are complaining about 3.5 donuts…that's not a complaint. That's an accomplishment. I would give you a pat on the back!
Also…did you get my cake?!
Mmm. Lucky Charms. Magically delicious.
Wait…what?
Oh.
I hope your husband gets home soon and the spa has a place for you.
heehee I love you!
I'm so jealous that you ate 3-5 donuts today. I think this comment is called "perspective". Sorry about that.
