Today David went to work. I spent a couple of days alone last week so i wasn't too nervous. Isaac is going through a growth spurt so he's eating constantly. Also for the past 24 hours he won't let us put him down. So i was just holding him and watching TV and ray ray wanted to go out. I opened the door and as he went out a wasp came in and started chasing me. I'd figure out how to deal with the wasp later. Isaac needed his diaper changed so i went and closed us in Isaac's room and changed his diaper. The bag in his diaper pail was full so i changed it and went to take it to the trash. i opened the door and something fell on my head. Brushed it off and they were earwigs! I freaked out. Screamed. Tried to make sure they were all off me, took the bag to the trash, and came in and tried to kill all the earwigs. by this point Isaac was screaming since it had been 5 minutes since i set him down. I grabbed my phone and called David crying and hysterical. He said he would come home and take care of all the bugs. I closed myself in Isaac's room with him and ray ray and cried until David got there. It didn't help that while i was holed up in the room trying to keep it together enough to feed Isaac i saw an earwig crawling on my arm. Freaked out more. Started feeling like they were all over me so i had to take my shirt off. So David got there to find his wife shirtless and blubbering. He killed the wasp and vacuumed up all of the earwigs. Last night i told David i just don't know how anyone can be a single parent. I rest my case!
Tell me you would have reacted any differently! Worst day!

I would have acted the same way. Tomorrow will be better, especially if you get any sleep. It's rough being a new mom, but it does get easier. Good luck and hang in there.
I hope you can laugh about it later. I ended up shirtless on my first day home alone with two as well. It stinks when you are going through it but it makes for great stories later on :) Isaac is so adorable.
I remember coming home from probably my first day back at work when Aidan was really young, and a very frazzled Michael tells me I can't ever die, cuz he doesn't want to be a single parent, lol. It's hard, and you're doing fine. Come visit!
I HATE earwigs, and therefore totally understand your reaction. But to be totally candid, in the last few weeks it hasn't taken an earwig to make me overly emotional. You would be totally justified even if you just randomly started crying...You are doing an amazing job. Isaac is adorable. I wish our offspring could meet :)
Totally justified-- that's nasty. Props to David for saving the day!
I would have called a cab and moved to a hotel. You did MUCH better than I would have done.
Love you.

(No, I am NOT exaggerating.)
Earwigs are the grossest things ever. They've recently tried to take over in the basement, so I've killed many in the recent weeks. It was unnerving.
Then while I was sitting on my bed, one fell on my foot and I was so freaked out, I slept upstairs for a week and half.
