I think this falls under "Child Care." Some of you know that we're moving overseas later this Summer. My husband left for training for three weeks for his new job and so I've been single parenting it for a week now. I'd say the hardest parts are meals and baths only b/c that's the only time I have to go back and forth between the two constantly. I'm constantly sweating like a monster. I hope this helps me lose some weight. LOL! But I highly doubt it since I still can't stay away from chips and chocolate.

It's definitely hard staying home all day like I used to when my husband is around b/c at least by evening I can get a break and walk away without my youngest crying for me. I am starting to tell him when I have to step away and tell him where I'm going so he can walk over to where I'm at to see me. Once he sees me and gives me a hug he's fine. Such a funny little kid. He's the one that keeps me sane b/c he's just so darn cute. My oldest is great with him when he's good... but when he's not listening, wow, I can't help myself but to do a time out and reset him.

Tonight, our friends invited us out for dinner and it was nice NOT to deal with dinner at home b/c I was getting tired of doing the dishes, even if most of it goes into the dishwasher. Still, it's still a lot of washing b/c our kids' dishes are limited that I need to wash them more frequently.

When your SO goes out of town for an extended period, what do you do to stay sane when you have two or more kids? Do you ever yell at your kids to keep them in line? I find myself losing patience and having to resort to yelling at my oldest more these days b/c I'm just so tired myself.... :\ I know, I should just try to keep my composure and try not to, but sometimes it's just so hard...
