This is fairly typical/representative of the kinds of challenges they don't tell you about when you embark on this crazy journey called parenting

I mean, it's not like I don't enjoy time away from the kids! I guess there's just something psychological about the whole 24-hour thing. Also, I find that if I miss one bedtime with Ruthie, then by the time the next bedtime comes around, it feels like it has been ages since I last put her to bed, although I know that's illogical and weird. *Shrug*

ugh, I feel for you. How did it go?

Thanks for asking! It went fine. It was a ridiculously hot day that day, so the babysitter and the kids pretty much just sat around the house like lumps all evening, which was fine. That's what we would have done if I'd been home, anyway. :)
