I miss my baby :(

[Super~Single~Mama]

DS is at his dad's. He comes home tonight ( ) and I just miss him! All weekend, I've just been longing for a cuddle - so I hope he's cuddly when he gets home!

I've been trying to stay busy, I even went to a friends party yesterday. That backfired though b/c she has an ADORABLE little boy who goes to daycare with my ds, and he wasn't too into me so I didn't get to borrow cuddles from him (which is completely ok - there were tons of people there and he doesn't know me all that well).

When you REALLY miss your kids what do you do?? I don't think I usually miss him this much - since usually I'm so drowning in work its not even funny!

I clean and play on the computer! So far I've had friends who keep me busy, and this weekend a large group of girlfriends and I went away but immot looking forwards to other weekends!

what do they say? an empty mind is the devil's workshop.

if i really miss my child at nigth i watch movies on hulu. i am a huge movie buff.

during the day i go do something i know dd wouldnt like doing. staying home makes me miss her more. or even doing something that she likes.

nature is v. inspiring and healing to me, so i usually go on a hike. or i go visit friends.

This may sound mercenary, but I try to remember times when they're with me and I think, "Geez! I'm ready for them to go to bed so I can have some quiet and a little time to myself!" And then I remind myself that here is my alone-time...so make the most of it! Sometimes it's just cleaning the house - with no one around to dirty dishes, muddy clothes, leave things on the floor or pee on the toilet seat while I'm working! Other times, it's a soak in the tub with a glass of wine and a book!

Since it's Monday night now, I assume he's home. Hope you got through it OK!

Hugs, i hope he is in your arms soon, cuddling away.

s I hate the nights that it really hits. I seem to struggle the most at night when I see the empty crib. If it's one of those really missing nights, I grab her fleece blankey that she likes and I sleep with it. lol

During the day I try to stay as busy as possible. And funnily enough, looking through her scrapbook actually helps me. It makes me laugh to remember all of her funny moments and such, and usually inspires me to get up and get something done in preparation to be all caught up and able to just to spend time with her when she gets home.

Thanks everyone! He's back, and we got LOTS of cuddles in last night! It was great.

Jeannine, I do that too!! I was trying this weekend, but I think it being a long weekend made it harder to use up alllll the time!
