Tour, bodily functions, books, and exhaustion.

So oddly enough, my husband left for tour on Sunday night. My bro Matt asked him to be his guitar tech for 3 weeks. I never thought my husband would tour again and although I'm excited for his adventure I can honestly say I don't miss him leaving home all the time. It's been six years since he last toured and it seems like an eternity. Now having a kid involved in the process makes it even harder. I give major props to all you mamas who have touring husbands. You deserve all the love, support, help, and days off you can get! I thought I'd give a little peek into our first day without Dad!

Since Matt's gone and my sister is at work Gunnar and I will be having Stella days!
Don't be fooled by these sweet naked babies.........

Neither one of the two wanted to get dressed after bath-time. So like every smart mom does I let them run around naked. Not a minute in I notice that my son is using the bathroom on the dog's bed! So like every mom does I stuck my hand out to catch. Gross. As I'm snapping a pic, flushing it down, and washing my hands I notice he wasn't quite finished. Not only was he still going but he had stepped in it and was tracking it on the carpet. I grabbed him as quick as possible and threw him back in the tub. Crisis averted, as I'm cleaning poo out of my carpet (which by the way I'm glad I haven't gotten around to the steam cleaning I'd been planning!), Stella breaks out in the sort of cry where nothing comes out and she's not breathing.....the serious kind. My vampire child had bit her and broken the skin on a sweet innocent little finger. Jerk! The only thing I could do was throw them on the bed and turn Little Bear on and they got instantly cozy and comfy like nothing happened. My child is a monster. A mad man. A genuine boy. Pooping, biting, and making me extremely tired! Oh, how I love those two precious babes!

To unwind my day I put on The Promise Ring, Wood/Water record and started a new book. Another book that I borrowed from my Aunt on our recent trip to Florida. I'll let you know how it goes. I was so tired I only got to page 2. Weak!
Day one down.
