Matt is having fun in the sun without us.  He is with his pipe band in Vegas for the Scottish festival. (He took a 1st and 3rd in his solos today!)  I have been left while he has gone on a band trip before (Enumclaw last year :p), but this time, I have a small human to care for. 

I was off of work yesterday because Carrie had to pick up Michelle in Ephraim - and that's a long time for a baby to be in a car.  I got to see Matt in the morning, so that was nice.  By 11am, he was on the road.  Henlie and I hung out most of the day.  She discovered plastic bags are fun.  Too bad I can't just let her play with one on her own, eh?  She and I spent a lot of the day watching the news going down in Boston.  Then we went to  Walmart, came home, and put her to bed.

Today, I had to work.  I packed up Henlie and Mocha to take to Matt's mom's house while I was gone all day.  Then I ran some errands on the way home and picked the baby up.  Left after her bedtime (oops! 8pm is early...)  Walked the dog and put the baby back to bed.  Hung out on Facebook (it's rather boring, really.  Also, I'm a wee sad my facebook game, Sims Social, is being discontinued come June.)  Matt did just call, so that was nice.  Every time I see one of our friends post a pic on FB, I get a little sad.  Wish we could afford to make every band trip a family vacation :)  Because really, those are the only vacations we ever take.  (Okay, 95% of them, anyway.)

Also, I eat like crap.  I already knew this, but it is so much harder when there is only one of me to worry about.  AND I have to make whatever it is I eat (as opposed to having someone else who may be so inclined to do the cooking that evening).  Yeah, it's been a day and a half, and I'm already over this single parenting business.  I can't imagine how it must be for those who have this as their life always.  Or who have a military spouse and do this way more often for long stretches.  And multiple kids? ugh! (At least then there is more than one person to feed...)

Anyway, rant over.  At least he did call tonight. :)  Can't wait to see him tomorrow night!
