up late and alone

Im up late and pretty much alone except for baby sleeping in my room. Its thursday, almost midnight and my hubby left to California for work on Sunday. And my mom took our dog Scottie to her house tonight because Nick and I have an early flight tomorrow. Im excited and doubt I will get any sleep tonight, but at the same time hoping and praying nick will be a good baby on the plane for 3 hours!! ahh! So its been about a week now that nick has really taken off walking. He walks around the house like such a big boy. I can tell he is very proud of himself. And I am one proud momma!! But I now understand why other older parents would be like you don't want him to walk, when he tries, push him down lol!! Not that I don't want him to walk, but I get it now. They become even more of a handful because they don't know about falling and hurting themselves.
So these past few days that I have been sans a hubby, hasn't been too bad, Im the mommy and I am used to doing most things for nick anyway, I am the one here during the day with him, and Im the wifey that cooks and cleans the house, so nothing has changed much except hubby being here in the evenings to eat dinner with us and enjoy our house. So yea its a little weird at night. Especially when we are in bed with out daddy. But my sister has spend 2 nights here to keep us company, and that has helped me keep my mind of off missing my hubby too bad.
Also on the Sunday that hubby left, we went out to dinner with my mom, sister, baby and my 2 aunts to celebrate my moms birthday with was the next day. We went to Salt Grass!! Yum!! Then on Monday the day of her birthday we went to dinner with my step dad, and 2 of my cousins to Gloria's. Then a week from today is my mother in laws birthday. Julia will still be in California until the next day which is Friday. He gets home that evening, then we head to Oklahoma for my cousin's Quinceanera. Crazy busy May I tell you!! THe 15 is on saturday, then our goddaughter Maria Mercedes does her confirmation on Sunday also in Oklahoma!! Ahhhh! We will never make it home lol!! Good thing Monday will be a holiday and hopefully give us a break and chance to regroup and prepare for a normal schedule again!!
Something I have learned in these 13 months of being a mommy, is that at first the hard part is all the sleep loss, and when baby starts sleeping more, then there is the he needs to be entertained more, and then they learn to sit, and walk and crawl and now Walk!! Certain things get easier and other things get harder, so it all balances out, and mommies never get a break,and we are always tired...but i love being Nick's mom and Julians wife, I wouldn't change it for the world!!!

I know very random stuff, but thats all that just rambles around in my head!!
