So...
My wife went out of town this past weekend. She was in Texas for a convention. I was home with all 4 of the rug-rats. I am tired. It really isn't the feeding or cleaning or transporting hither and yon....it really is just the constant position of 'on'. It seems that when you are alone you have to always be 'on' to prevent major meltdowns and arguments.
That being said, we should ALL tip our hats to the single Moms and single Dads out there fighting this battle every day. I salute you single people....whether you chose it or not, your road is really very difficult and we need to provide you with as much support as possible.
Anyway, we cleaned the house and watched some movies. That's what we do. When Sunnye got home, my son Ben says: "Dad said we would clean, then watch a movie, then clean some more. But the truth is, when it doesn't get real dirty, you get to watch movies faster. We should keep it like this!" If only he could remember that the next time I ask him to clean his room or Sunnye tells him to pick up.
Parenting....it's tiring....worth it, but tiring.
