all alone

Hi, My name is Ashely
Sometimes I need a small break.
What girl doesn't.
I love my babies and hubs more than ANYTHING.
but some alone time is needed to stay sane.

Anyone who tells you otherwise in my mind is a liar.

I thought of this on my way to the store the other day.

I was all alone. Jayson was kind enough to watch the kiddos while I went out for milk and bread.

I think he could tell I needed to get out and clear my head.

What was the first thing I did when I got in my car you ask??

I turned on the music so loud the car was shaking.

-well maybe that's a stretch of the truth-

but nevertheless it was loud.

What was I bumpin you ask???

Yes, a little techno.

It was fun...

but when I got home and Ty threw his arms around me I remembered listening to the Gigglebellies in the car is way cooler than blastin techno.

When The kids are asleep and I'm alone guess what else I do???

I sleep.

That's right.

I'm lame.

but to stay sane...I feel for me its necessary.

What else???!!

I sometimes eat candy...Candy I know Ty would want...and if he were awake would beg and scream for it.

I eat it and know I don't have to share.

I also pee alone.

Weird. Do your kids just walk in on you when you are going potty. haha

Ty sure likes too...

funny-weird.

Thoughts

This is what my babies are doing right now.

They melt my heart.

Last night Jayson and I went on our first date after Ember
had been born. We went and saw The Dark Knight Rises.
It was at the cheap theater!
I can wait a month to see a movie for three dollars.

It was so nice. Jays and I got to talk and have an actual
conversation with out changing a dirty diaper or getting a sippy cup. Both things I love to do...but it was nice to
have Jays all for myself.

We started talking about moving for grad school.
The house size loan were going to have to be taking out.
How were going to have to live on love basically. haha

I really thought about ...now don't laugh...
but how fun it is to be a poor collage family.

We do silly things like have one set of batteries for
both remotes and just exchange them as we need them.

It doesn't really bother me. It a chapter.
The next one will be even harder.
At least right now Jays works part time.
Well if you can even call it that. Its more like quarter time.
12hrs.
but it works.
We haven't had to take out any loans yet.

I actually feel blessed.
We have everything we need.
A house, a car, our kids have clothes on their
backs, fresh diapers and full tummys.

.
.

But the school we really want to get into the tuition
each year is like buying a new car.

A nice new car.

Kinda scary.
It's been on my mind a lot.

Any of you in graduate school?
Or were in grad school?
How did/do you survive...?
