At 4pm today I will become a single mom until Wednesday. I hate being a single mom. I'm a much better parent when I'm part of a parenting duo. I need Kevin to check my frustration and take over when I've mentally had it. Or, better yet, take over before I've had it.
I knew Kevin's annual spring training trip was coming up. I just forgot how long he'd be gone. Yesterday I asked him how late he'd be coming home on SUNDAY. He chortled and said he'd be home really late on TUESDAY. He found it amusing I had deluded myself into thinking it was only a long weekend. I didn't find it as amusing.
It wouldn't even be so bad except it's going to RAIN the ENTIRE time he is gone. What happened to my afternoon sanity-saver of booting the kids outside? I can't really boot them out in the rain. Well, I could, but they'd be such a mess when they came back in that it really wouldn't save my sanity at all.
If you happen to be out-and-about in the rain over hte next 5 days you'll likely spot me and the kids in various fast-food establishments and big box stores.
And through it all my lingering thought is.... it's going to be a long summer. yep, summer and my days with both kids at home all day is already on my mind.
Calgon take me away!

Hang in there! I know how hard it is without help coming in the evening, but those days always make me more thankful for Dave and really make me feel for single moms. I can't imagine doing that all the time! Maybe we'll see you at one of those fast-food places, since I'm SO tired of cooking :)
It is hard when Hubby/Dad is away! I hope to see you out and about this week!
Kat, I saw a minivan like yours in a ditch off Pleasant this morning... I hope it wasn't you!
