Coming and going...the airport roundabout

Aaah, airports.  People coming and going constantly.  People in tears.  Tears of happiness, and tears of sadness.  Living at the opposite end of the country to my family means Mr S has been to various airports A LOT.  He loves the airport.  When he thinks we're picking up Grandma and Pa.  Then there are nights like tonight when we dropped Daddy L off.  Daddy L has been home after being overseas for 6 months for just under 2 weeks.  Mr S was beside himself.  Poor little dude.  How do you explain to a 2 year old that Daddy will only be gone 3 days this time, not half a year??  Mr S was screaming for Daddy half the way home.  Meanwhile Im quietly panicking inside because for the first time I am going to be home alone with both boys.  For a 3 day trip we were all a tad emotional!  I am lucky that my fabulous Mr S is one tough cookie.

Now, back home, Daddy L has boarded, after calling to say goodnight to Mr S (Mr J has slept through the whole thing!).  Mr S has been put to bed.  3 times so far.  Mr J is still sleeping.  I am making myself a second dinner/snack because the first one feels like it was hours ago (probably because it was...).  I am not thinking about the 2 days ahead.  Come on, its just 2 days!  This princess needs to harden up!  

I was blessed to have my Mum staying when I had Mr J, with my Dad arriving a few days later.  They stayed until Daddy L got home from overseas.  I have had limited time (we're talking half a day at most) on my own with both boys.  I know I have to deal with this, oh, FOREVER, but this first time, Im nervous.  I can deal with them both on their own, no dramas, but Im nervous about keeping Mr S in check whilst Im tied down feeding, or pumping. I really dont give him enough credit.  He will probably be fine, and we will have a great time, just the 3 of us.

Right now, I am enjoying watching my TV shows, Mr S in bed, Mr J asleep, and I should have another hour or 2 before anybody needs me.  If I wasnt pumping, I'd be totes having a wine right now!

This post is all a bit rambling, sorry!  So, the important points - 

• Daddy L has left to check out, and possibly buy, a new car (which is sounding less perfect, with little things that may need fixing, but we'll see I guess)
• Im alone with the 2 kids for the first time and a little nervous
• Im having my second dinner
• Kids are sleeping

And now I hear Mr J stirring.... so much for my hour or 2 of peace!
