The Mama Who Cried Wolf

OK, so the day is not over, it is not even 7 when Tim gets home, but I have to say we survived. There were some rough patches but everyone made it through and it wasn't all terrible. The key seems to be living in the moment, break the day into 30 minute increments that you can get through and really lower your expectations! Also, plugging the older child into her new favorite program for an hour or so really helps too.
