Fishing Trip

I am getting ready to be a single parent all of next week. I am not really looking forward to it. DH is going on his annual fishing trip with his best friend. He leaves on Saturday and doens't come home until the following Saturday. This is still a sore spot in our marriage b/c while I think it is great that he has been doing this for years, I find it kind of annoying that he takes the whole week off from his family , and then in November takes at least 4-5 days to go hunting. I have NEVER been on a week long vacation by myself, and probably never will b/c who would watch izzy.....but whatever, it is what it is. I can't feel too bad for myself b/c DH's friend has two kids so his wife will have 2 kids solo for a week....

Izzy has become quite the daddy's girl the last few weeks so I know she is really going to miss him. She loves when he gets home from work and first thing she says after "DADDY'S HOME!!!!" she says "Daddy, play, daddy play cars!" I think she will be ok for the first few days but after that she is really going to miss him.

I will get one night to myself though my mil is going to watch her a week from friday for the day/night and i am going to my best friend from college house to celebrate her birthday so that will be fun. I am sure also if i ask my mom will take Izzy one night if i need a break. I know i will be fine and Izzy is much easier than she was as an infant to handle solo...but i still kinda dread it...is that pathetic? I don' tknow how single parents do it all the time!! I guess when you have no choice you just do it but I can only imagine how hard it is.

I think the part that bothers me most is thinking about what a relaxing fun time he is having while I am stuck at home working and taking care of Izzy......
