a few hours to myself... trying to adjust to the thought

No child to look after... no family to cook dinner for... what the heck does a mother of 6 years and a wife of 9 do with herself when it boils down to alone time?  He picked Logan up after school and is bringing him back about an hour before bedtime (sigh). Best to spend time with his son now... before his next jaunt off to FL this weekend, right?  So be it.  I was going to work on the nursery but with the house going up for sale, I've kind of put that thought on the back burner desperately hoping that I'll be settled in my new place just in time to decorate the baby's new room and bring him home to it. I decided to take the headboard off of Logan's full size bed and remove the frame so it's just his box spring and mattress sitting on the floor. Whew... that was a weeee bit tougher than I was expecting.. mostly because my belly is getting in the way of bending now, but it's done. My MIL is supposed to come over and help me do it tonight in lieu of the bunk beds a friend of hers is bringing over tomorrow.. but I decided to go ahead and get it done without her. It's those kind of tasks that make me feel like I can do this. I don't need anyone.. let alone him. Although that statement isn't completely true... I DO need my friends.. my family.. but at least I know I can accomplish these physical tasks without having to call for help. I've never really tried. Always had someone to do what I couldn't (or.. didn't try to do I guess).. but now is the time to prove myself... TO myself.

The baby is karate kicking me now. I don't think he approved of all the action, but I was careful and took things slowly.
