Marty left to go camping last weekend for basically 3 days. I was so scared that something was going to go wrong while he was away I had myself in a tizzy! Eventually, after the first 24 hours, I realized that I am a great mom, and I just kept Marlo and me busy while he was away. She was actually great, and very well behaved, and I don't think she even cried once!
We went shopping, went out to eat, and even went to the pool. During our shopping excursions I made the mistake of buying an electronic toy that now repeats on the daily, "the cat says..." because Marlo only has interest in pushing the buttons, not hearing what it has to say. I immediately regretted the purchase as soon as I took it out of the box, but luckily there is an on/off button. Phew!
I did take Marlo to grandma and grandpa's the one afternoon in order to get some much needed house cleaning caught up, and get myself a shower, but other than that we had a great couple of days together. Not that I don't love all that my hubs does for us, trust me I do! But while he was away, it was amazing how clean the house stayed, even with a 1-year old in it! It was also awesome to tell him all of the new things she had learned or acquired in just those few days. Children really are sponges and do learn something new almost every minute it seems.
So for you moms out there that are worried about the first time you're home alone with your little one while your hubby or significant other is gone for a few days, don't sweat it, you got this!
