I scheduled a sitter to come tonight for the first time since Blake moved late September. Had planned to get out and see a movie and just enjoy some time to myself. Yes, I know. I should have been doing this all along, but Blake has been home quite often.....I've had breaks....and so I haven't felt the need.
Our next scheduled visit is not until Valentine's Day, which will make it a full six weeks + single-motherhood stint for me, since he left December 28. Anticipating what could surely have been an messy mental breakdown, I'm playing offense and decided to allow myself a weekly outing child-free. There might even be wine involved. Because I am crazy like that.
So, I was feeling very proud of myself and looking forward to a warm and fuzzy evening with a bag of popcorn and Valkyrie ahead.....not a child in sight, tugging at my legs needing a cup or "cheese" or a train drawn on the Magna Doodle.
And, like clockwork, Lainey started throwing up this morning around 9:00am.
Babysitter canceled. I smell like vomit. Doing laundry and scrubbing floors instead.
Oh, my fabulous life.

Oh honey! NOO! So sorry...that sucks! Find out when the babysitter can come back and book it! I'm so with you sista on going to the movies ALONE!!! I love it!!!
She's on a weekly schedule, starting next Tuesday, pending anyone else throwing up on me at that time.
And, yes. Totally dig the movies on my own.
Oh no!!!! Was it a one time throw up or she sick? Poor baby girl and poor YOU! Ugh....that is disappointing.
I am impressed that you have a weekly sitter though! Way to go!
Thanks, girls. It's the real deal. Several times since this morning.
Seriously! My luck.
