Calgon Take Me Away

I'm pooped! I don't know how single parents do it. I like the help. I want the help. I NEED the help. Every evening I look forward to Matt's companionship, the adult conversation, and most importantly the help with the kids during the evening routine. Bathing the girls and reading them a bedtime story is Matt's "thing", while I'm free to clean the kitchen, have a few "me" moments, and then swoop in to kiss them goodnight. These days I'm juggling the schlepping, the afternoon programs and activities, the play dates, the meal times, snack times, evening routine, and of course the housework. I'm going to need a serious vacation when Matt returns.
