It's been way too long since the last time I submitted a post. What can I say? June was absolutely busy and July is a duplicate. Summer days are long and seem to run into one another, which leave me tired and feeling like I never will catch up.
In June I started writing for an online publication/magazine called gather.com. That's been keeping me busy and, unfortunately, took the place of my Baby & Briefcase writing slot. But alas, tonight is the night where I can finally sink into the couch and write for this blog.
So, what do you want to know?
Well, today my hubby left for a quick out-of-state training for the week - which leaves me with Sam, Claire and Sadie (our black lab) to hold down the fort. I'm not going to lie - I'm a little nervous. Rob is extremely helpful with the girls and I'm afraid I'm not going to keep up with our normal routine and fluidly as I'm hoping to. All you single moms out there are probably scoffing at my inexperience but, for me, it's the truth.
The girls usually go down at 8:00 p.m. but in an effort to get groceries bought and put away, I ran behind and they didn't go down until 9:00 p.m. No biggie, right? The funny thing about today, though, is the amount of times I've had to call Rob for ridiculous little things that I couldn't figure out myself. "How do you turn off the air conditioner? How do you work the remote? What kind of coffee should I buy?" It's amazing how much he really does around this place when I'm not looking! Now, granted, those reasons I mentioned are pretty insignificant but they can be down right annoying if you need to do something and are incapable of figuring it out on your own.
This week is definitely going to be the ultimate Baby & Briefcase challenge because I'm going to be juggling the kids, work, dog, day care, etc. all by myself. Hopefully ll and I won't lose my patience too swiftly. Count to ten, count to ten, deep breath, count to ten.
Do you have any good advice for me? How do you get it all done when you're on your own?
