Weird Feeling

I have heard other people say that you just a weird feeling when your kid(s) aren't home. And this weekend was a prime example of that. My wife and I handed "the boy" off to my parents on Friday night for a nice weekend at home alone.

So there we were at home on Friday night both looking at each other like shouldn't we be doing something like getting bottles ready, soothing him to sleep, or changing those nasty little packages that he like to leave us. It was like we were both having brain farts for what to do. We were out of the nightly routine. Then continuously during the night both of us would perk up and look in the cradle to see if he was there, due that it was entirely too quiet around the house without the semi cry of the "little man".

On Sunday, we picked him up from Grandmas house and he seemed very content which soothed both of us. The only thing is i'm sure my parents drugged him like they did with me when i was that age....ok not all the time and yes I know it explains alot. :-)

Even with all of his crying and crapping it was still good to have him home. Now we have back the giggling, the smiling, and ever so present drooling...wait the drooling was me (sorry about that). Now don't get me wrong it was nice to have the weekend with Wife Brandi but it just wasn't fully complete without "the boy".

The only one not happy to see him back home was our dog. Because now her sleep schedule is back to sporadic at best. You should see the dirty looks when he wakes her up in the middle of the night. Damn, if looks could kill!
