Day 2 of my 16 day stint as the sole parent in our house.
Yesterday was not as bad as I had anticipated. I was actually able to get some chores and homework done, and still have some time (and I used that term loosely. I am talking maybe five minutes,but it's more than I expected) to myself to get up to speed on my reading. I keep forgetting that Orion is almost 4 and is doesn't need me to watch over him constantly anymore. The older boys spent much of yesterday and today in the backyard, playing football, yelling, and acting like zoo animals. I am not holding my breath for this calm to last the entire two weeks though. I am sure once the kids realize they outnumber me by quite a margin, they'll proceed with a hostel takeover.
We made it to the Fun Fair yesterday, and it was nice. We rode on a train, petted some rabbits, fished, and ate some cotton candy. It would have been better with Steven. Oh well. I was actually able to make it to the grocery store as well. Didn't think I was going to be able to pull that off.
Now I am just sitting here, listening to the older boys have fun outside while the baby naps. Class resumes tomorrow. I am taking Marketing and Brand Management. Fun. We'll see if I actually can pass as someone who actually knows how to be a graduate student.
Off to make macaroni salad.
