We Made It With A Little Help From My Friends

Really, I am not that big of a baby. I have spent plenty of nights alone while Mike traveled for business, too many when we were back in Chicago. And once Jack was born I even spent a few nights alone in the condo. But when Mike left for Pittsburgh this week I was nervous.

In Chicago I knew where everything was and I had lots of people to call for an emergency. I'm still the new kid on the block here and just not as familiar with everything. I have to call my "GinaPS" for directions whenever I go anywhere. Plus when Jack was a itty bitty baby he just needed to be feed, changed, and rocked. Now he is needs LOTS of entertainment. I didn't know if I could occupy him 24/7 with no pool to go to.

Luckily I have incredible friends here! Volree and Gina both had me over for dinner. What a treat, because as a Mom you know that the hardest hours are from 4-bedtime. They just are. So I got to spend some great quality time with friends and get a yummy meal out of the deal:) Maybe Mike should travel more often again..

Not only was I alone for the first time second guessing myself if I could do it, but there were awful storms Tuesday through Thursday am! The tornado alarms even went off, which totally freaked me out!!!

Anyways, we made it with a little help from my friends:)

The creepy weather. 

My buddy. He knew we could do it:)
