Pick Your Poison

Andy has been working on Saturdays and Sundays lately and as a result, I have been single mom-ing it again.

This Saturday, we planned to meet up with some friends who also had a working Daddy, but we just couldn't get our stuff together in time.  Instead, I had a brilliant idea to kill some time before gymnastics class at ....  Costco!

We got some free samples, tried out all the patio furniture (all very comfortable, especially if you take the food you are sampling over there to eat), a churro to go, then made our way to class.

After gymnastics and Jordan's afternoon nap, we woke up and Andy was still not home yet.

So, we decided to go to the mall for a stroll and to return some items.  The only thing is, Saturdays at the mall playground are insane.  Crazy.  Full fo germs everywhere!  Lucky for us, I have discovered a well kept secret.

The book store train table, all for us.

We got home just in time to leave again with Andy to run some errands and eat dinner with him so it wasn't exactly an entire weekend without him, just the daytime.

And then come Sunday, we made our way to Church without Daddy (again).  It's not so bad with just Jordan and me, but I can definitely see it being more difficult with each additional child.

This rotation of light weekdays and working weekends has been a toss up.  On one hand, it's nice to have Andy home early so often during the week.  On the other hand, the weekends are quite lonely without him.  Pick your poison, I suppose.
