Um ok, so I’ve been at home alone with the four boys since Wednesday and Nate is scheduled to drop-in for some much needed parent relief later this evening. He’s finally coming home from his most recent Big Adventure to Vancouver for another dental conference. I sure as heck hope he had a good time because it’s been an interesting 24/7 kind of week, and I need someone to say “way to go honey, you rocked the single mom life this week! Now go shop, bubble bath, and party your way to personal happiness for a few hours!”

Shall I take votes on whether I hear this most joyous of expressions?
