I weathered my first seven-day stint solo-parenting four kids under 6 last week, with HF away for a full 7 days. It went very well overall, better than I expected. My energy has been noticeably higher since we returned from vacation, for which I thank God, and I have been sleeping longer stretches at night. The pregnancy hormones have finally cleared my system, I think. And the new weekly routine is in place and the activity level for the days seems to be going well for all concerned, including me. Very happy about that! The kids are appropriately engaged and busy without it being chaotic or harried for me. Tough balance to negotiate, but for now it's a good groove.Hit two separate playgrounds on Saturday as we worked to fill the day till Daddy returned at 7 pm. The second time the mouse had her first run on a swing! She adored it. Pictured. We even managed to get all four kids on the swings at the same time (and I didn't even orchestrate it!)
