Day 8: Single Parenting

Jason's out of town for the week, so I am on my own with the kids and the dog. It's more than a little bit exhausting, and I can tell you right now that if I were a single parent, I would not have a dog. I swear, she's as much work as the kids are!

Anyway, what this means is that my #1 priorities this week are 1) survive, 2) try to make sure everything that's absolutely necessary gets done (meals, homework, dog walks, etc.), 3) exercise at home as much as I can manage with everything else, and 4) try not to let the eating descend into total madness.
