So we are daddy less for 4 days and 3 nights.  I hate being alone  the Chickens hardly count as a whole person so I am basically by myself. If God forbid there is a spider or water emergency while Ben is gone I am the go to person… sigh.   When Ben is gone which thankfully is not very often anymore I can’t go to sleep until I am exhausted otherwise I will just lay in bed listening to all the night noises and the creaking of my big old house and get thoroughly scared.  Now I am not a shining example on how to raise kids. I frequently let them watch things they shouldn’t, eat cake for breakfast and let them stay up WAY to late we are by nature night owls and our kids tend to be the same way.  And last night was no exception we all stayed up to late….

This was Boo telling me she was ready for bed (although this is how I feel at the thought of Ben being gone so long).

And this was Chicken trying to tell me he was not ready for bed….(sorry for the fuzziness it’s my crappy iphone 3g)

We settled down for a good snuggle on the sofa while watching The Incredibles until we were so sleepy we could barely hold our eyes open.  We finally headed upstairs got teeth brushed and Chickens down.  They were out in a second but I still could not go to sleep until after 1:30…. I just don’t sleep well when Ben isn’t home…. only 3 days and 2 nights to go……
