Kids are gone and I miss them

I can't believe I'm even writing this. I am a stay at home mom to 4 kids ages 1,5,8,9 and my mother in law has all 4 of the kiddos and they are staying the night and my husband drives trucks so he's on the road. I haven't had a break like this in almost a year I should be excited right? Yet I have these feeling in my chest like I miss my kids 🥺 I just want to drink my wine eat my turkey sandwich and watch love Island with no care in the world but this feeling is heavy. What should I do? I just got out of the shower thought that might help but nope

I know the feeling...my MIL is taking our boy tomorrow for a night or two and I know that all we're going to think about is him 😭😭

I get dressed up and either go out for date night, or drinks and dinner w a gf or I rock up to a salsa/bachata social and dance the night away 💃🏼 they have lessons! I took their beginner lessons 4yrs ago and now I’m doing the intermediate/advanced lessons but I’ve been going most Fridays for the past 4yrs, it’s now my passion I’m out when the kids are sleeping. Both me and my bestie aren’t available on Fridays she’s at her poker I’m at my salsa 😂 we always meet on Sat nights. Take some salsa lessons mama! It’s so fun. If you want to that is.

Escape plan…

I’m currently 32 weeks pregnant with my second baby and have a 23 month old toddler. I had quite severe PNA when my first was born and found it really hard to adjust to motherhood as my village is quite far from me and my partner works long hours. My partner knew all my anxieties over becoming a working mum of 2 and recently went away to bury his grandmother and somehow had time to start an affair with someone he met out there. Mind you he has an easy life as is, comes home to a clean house/clothes, sleeping baby and food on the table. Our relationship has been under strain for the past few months but I never thought he’d stoop so low to do this to me. But hey such is life, we are from the UK and I need advice on how to secretly move my money from our joint accounts while secretly saving money to leave because I’ll be damned if I stay with someone I don’t trust and who doesn’t love me.

morning

if you wake up with someone and you tell them goodmorning, and they say say huh? & still don’t say it back, even when they heard you. do you text them goodmorning or not because you already said goodmorning?

Trying to make mom friends and it be hard out here. If you like sarcasm, honesty, and fierce loyalty hit me up. I’m a tad bit goofy, love a good Adam Sandler movie, and covered in tattoos so if that doesn’t scare ya away please dm me. I have a 3yr old boy and an 1.5yr old girl. My son is on the spectrum, we have no outside help, so I need some form of village and I’m determined to build on myself. I’m shy at first but I’ll do my best to respond and not be boring af. Just trying to find moms who are trying to be better for themselves and there kids but also knows how to kick back and have a good time💛✨💛

Partner

How do you all feel if you’re with your partner and he looks at another woman in-front of you ?? And you can clearly tell he’s looking at their ass or chest? And it’s not just an instinct reaction because he doesn’t do it with all woman just certain ones. It hurts my feelings so bad it makes me feel so insecure and if I bring it up he gets mad.
