My mom and dad left today.
This is really embarrassing to admit but I couldn't even bring myself to get out of my pajamas today and I will probably cry a few more times before I go to bed tonight. 
They were here for almost three weeks which it turns out is how long it takes to really get into a routine with them. Tomorrow is Monday and John is going to go to work and I'm going to be the only one around to feed, clothe, entertain, nap and generally take care of my kids and house. Realistically I know that I do all that stuff by myself all the time and it's no big deal. I even kind of love my life most the time......but tonight I can't imagine how I'm going to pull it all together and I'm scared. Also, I miss my mama--- she likes to lay in bed with me after John goes to work and tell me all about what a great job I'm doing and how wonderful my kids and husband are. How am I going to live without that?

oh you can do it brielle! I know it's hard and tiring and exasperating at times, but as you know and as I'm trying to convince myself Today....it's worth it. ( side note:I've been alone with the kids for the past 3 days....yes a wee bit tiring) I'll bet it must be even worse after having all that love and support for 3 weeks and now nothing. Hang in there!
We have been having spring break all week over here and now Maddie will be going back to school tomorrow. I don't know what I am going to do without her getting Sean up in the morning and feeding him while I sleep in and eventually get out of bed around 9:00 am. What will I do without Maddie to play with Sean and keep him happy all day? I am also scared for tomorrow morning. Isn't it nice to have someone else around to help all of the time?.
oh i'm crying with you. your mom sounds amazing.
You need something to look forward to and get your mind off of the sadness. Say, a trip to Utah to visit your family.
You can do it...but meanwhile, it sure isn't fun to say good-bye to family...make Monday another pj day - the children will probably LOVE that!
OOOOOHHHHHHH! Aunt Bonnie is the best! Of course you know you can do it. Sometimes all I want is my mommy too!
