Single Parenting

DH is attending his sister's wedding. I am on my own with all 6 kids. It's not bad. I just lower the standards by which things are done. For instance, tonight we had hot chocolate and toast for dinner. Everyone was happy. I didn't have to cook and the dishes were easy.

Normal life around here but with no one to sleep with or get a back scratch from.
