Hurricane Ike

So, most of you know that Tony has left us for three weeks, and gone to help with the clean up of Hurricane Ike. Texas has been in need of extra property adjusters to handle all of their claims, so many from other states volunteered. Tony is not a property adjuster anymore, but he does know the job, so he volunteered. I have been feeling very sorry for myself. Feeling like he is the one who always gets to run off on these long vacations and I am stuck here, a single parent for three weeks. Well, I have forgotten all of the fun things I get to do when he is gone. Here is my list, if you think of anything else, let me know.

*I can eat whatever I want in our bed
*We can eat cereal for dinner
*I can stay up as late as I want on the computer
*I can stay up as late as I want watching movies with Eve
*I can sleep in the middle of the bed and use his pillow too
*I can go shopping for as long as I want and he can't make me come home
*No football on T.V. or Saturday U of U games
*No wrestling on T.V.
*No MythBusters on T.V.
*I can go out to lunch and dinner with my friends
*I can work late with Julie on Thursday and he won't care

On the other hand, I do have to do all of the things he usually does around the house,

*Mow the lawn (Hmmmm, Elders quorum?)
*Help Zoe with her homework (yuck)
*Take the trash cans out to the curb
*Drives the girls to all of their friends houses
*Laundry (Yes, he does our laundry)

It has only been 2 days, and I feel like I am losing my mind. It should be better tomorrow, I am going to work. I think we just need a few days to get into the groove of not having daddy around, and hopefully things will start going more smoothly.
