I'm alone with the kids

And I'm just whining. . .
I have 4 kids. MAN OH MAN do they wear you out when you're alone!! Michael left for Canada late this afternoon for a medical conference for almost a week. I had a huge juggling act tonight trying to get dinner, and Matthew to soccer, and all four of them to deal with, bathing all of them and putting them all to bed. Then cleaning up the dinner, making Matthew's lunch, feeding the cats, scooping their litter pans, sweeping the floor, etc. Man, am I pooped!! I never fully realize how much I appreciate Michael's constant help until he's gone.
He was very sweet and left me a nice little love note with some Hersey's Kisses :)
I'm going to miss him so much. He's so far away! All the way on the other side of the continent, in a different country. It kind of feels weird. And I'm worried about the kids totally wearing me out this week. I think the weekend's going to be really hard with the boys not in school. My sister has promised to hang out with me every day. That should help, and make the time go faster. But she's gone at night and I never sleep well when I'm alone, so I'll probably get really tired this week.
Wish me luck going it alone!

Thanks for the prayers!

I feel your pain, really I do...I am pretty much a single mom now, with no help around the house or with the kids ever.
I hope the week goes super fast for you, maybe you can take some time for yourself when the kids are in bed :) Take Care
