Typically I look forward to Friday nights. As everyone knows Friday night is the BEST night of the weekend; it's not the fact that you have anything particularly interesting or exciting to do, it's just that it's the first night of the weekend and you have two full days of non-work to look forward to. On a typical Friday night, the Bryson Family may order pizza or eat out and once the kids are in bed Danielle and I will watch a movie and relax on the couch.
But even though my weekend kicks off in just a few short hours, I'm not looking forward to this Friday evening.
You see, tonight will be my first night EVER watching both boys and getting them both in bed by myself. And that's a very scary thought. Danielle is volunteering at GroupLink at our church tonight and she won't be home until at least 10PM at the earliest. I could be in for a long and stressful night. I'm heading into uncharted territory here and I have to admit I'm a little nervous. I remember when Ridge was Colton's age and I ended up having to call Danielle at Grouplink almost in tears, begging and pleading for her to come home immediately because I couldn't calm a screaming infant. Tonight I'll be in charge of an infant AND a 2 year-old who is going through a extremely defiant phase.
I'm not entertaining any thought of relaxing or having any quality "me time" tonight. There is a very good chance both boys will still be up screaming their lungs out when Danielle gets home. And the house could be on fire. May God have mercy on my soul.
