SIX days alone with my kiddos...

Should I have you strangle me now or what?

I just spoke with my hubby and he broke the news to me. His boss told him that the two of them are going up to Salt Lake City for a conference. No big deal, right? Well, the conference is next week! Talk about short notice! Then they'll be flying out Monday and not coming back until late Saturday. Umm... Excuse me?

Thank goodness that the Princess has preschool 3 mornings each week. But I'll be stuck with two kiddos by myself for six LONG days. This just means I'm going to have to stock up on nuggets, fish sticks, pasta noodles, tomato & alfredo sauce, Italian sausage, ready-made salad, bread, sliced cheese, chicken chunks, sandwich meat, & soup for some easy fixing dinners.

I'm sure I'll be needing my coffee intravenously throughout the day. Anyone qualified to hook my veins up so I can strap a container of coffee to my belt? Oy...the madness of it all!

But then again I can get some stuff done that I like to do. After dinner I can wash and sweep the kitchen up in 1/3 of the time it takes my hubby. I can hog the bed at night and not have to hang onto the covers (lest they be tugged off me in the middle of the night) for dear life. I can go to the library and read a bunch of books in the evenings (usually I try to cuddle with DH). I can rent a bunch of girlie DVDs and watch them without fear of any snide comments.

Alas...I'll let you know more as next week plods along...
