My wife was out of town for three days for a family gathering. Day one of solo parenting went absolutely fine; I took both the boys to the mall to run around the play space and we picked up some food that we ate over the next two days. I steadily started losing control of things over the next couple of days as it was difficult to get them out the door in time and then the general mish mash of crap assaulted my day, between work and maintaining the house. That included a full carpet cleaning that has at least inspired me to form fewer piles of crap.
I did get a fair amount of reading done with my less rigid schedule. The trade-off being these late bedtimes for them and for me.
My wife is back now and I’m grateful for her.
