Home Alone

HT has finally gone back to school today. He missed four consecutive days, all the way back to last Tuesday. Last Monday I didn't work but we were out the door before school started to get JR to an orthodontist appointment. The week before that I worked every day, so the last day I had a relaxing morning at home was November 10 (I worked the 11th as well). I'll be honest, I am so enjoying the peace and quiet, and knowing that I have almost 7 full hours all to myself! At the same time, I really enjoyed having HT around the last couple of days. It absolutely broke my heart to leave him Tuesday morning to go to school, even though I know he was in good hands with my husband. But "Dad" isn't "Mom", and since he was still pretty sick that morning I really hated leaving him. The good news is that the 15+ hours that he slept Monday night helped him to have a pretty good day Tuesday, and yesterday was even better. I regret that I had to turn down a sub job yesterday, but I don't regret one bit that it was to stay home with my little guy. And although I would've been happy to go in today, I'm also not complaining that I'm home alone!
