I have a marathon day. Bart is already gone and I have to get ready for a speaking trip, leaving tomorrow immediately after church. We have the kids covered until Bart gets home Tuesday night, but I am not even close to being ready.
And since we are awaiting a change in routine, the youngest kids are bonkers and so is Jimmy. So when I need cooperation and help, I’m going to get nothing like that.
I may end up dealing with behaviors all day long and have to wait until after they are all asleep to get anything done.
Sometimes I envy those who get to focus only on parenting... but then, if I did, I would miss all of the satisfaction that comes from helping people find kids and getting kids into homes.
But on days like today, it’s a little much.
