looks like N will be getting laid off in october. i'm not going to say much about his future job plans yet, but we're hopeful we have some options. we'll see....
& we decided this is not the time for me to go back to school. which is really the least of our worries at the moment. sigh... we could use a break. but so could a ton of other families....
all of my family is up north right now (my folks & all my aunts have houses up north in MI in the same neighborhood) so everyone is celebrating the holiday. N is working all week tho, & i decided i wasn't up to a long drive & attempting to "vacation" by myself with the dudes quite yet. especially since they're too little for the beach, & still not sleeping through the night. my folks are really bummed we aren't up there & keep calling to say "come up, come up" but no matter how many times i try to explain the amount of work involved in traveling with multiples who puke all the time & don't yet sleep through the night, they don't quite seem to grasp it how stressful & non-vacation-y a solo trip with the dudes would be. ah well. next year hopefully they'll be sleeping better & puking less & i keep thinking (& please don't tell me if i'm wrong!) that it will be easier to travel with 1 yr old than it is with infants.
i'm sorry about your dh's job. Oh lord, it was hard traveling with one infant, i can't imagine traveling with two. alone.
ReplyDeleteWell it sure as heck is easier to travel with a 7 month old than with a 3 month old (our only trips I will say) so it must be even easier with a one year old.
ReplyDeleteI'll be praying that your other options for your DH's job are great ones!
ReplyDeleteI can't blame you for not wanting to travel alone. You are absolutely right, it's not very vacationy when you are traveling with small children, not to mention alone. I've done a LOT of travel with DS (now 2), a lot! And sometimes it was alone...but for me, it was only ever one!!! I don't think I can compare my one child to twin babies! I'm with ya on not traveling! Lord help me, next week I fly to my parents with a 2 year old and a 4 month old!! What was I thinking...pray for me!!!
lol-- good luck michelle!!!
ReplyDelete& thanks guys... i'll keep you all posted on the job front....
I will be praying for N's job and the future options. Maybe Oregon will be one of them?? ;)
ReplyDeleteIt is SO much easier to travel when they are 1! They can move to forward facing seats and usually keep themselves entertained, if not you just buy a DVD player and your golden. :) You WILL get through this, it only gets more fun the older they get!
