Single Parents are Crazy (Or will be soon.)

The Boy and I are flying solo this week as DDoll is at alt ed conference in the Portland area. All and all we've made it through the day and a half without needing to call CPS in more than normal. But feeling the full and unrelenting focus of a young child (with a running stream of consciousness commentary) while still trying to get work and household chores done makes me think that people raise kids alone should be sainted and/or institutionalized. I have not resorted the electric babysitter yet, though I might hold the chance of a special TV night on Thursday as a bribe for good behavior. (I'm not sure if the good behavior needs to be from me or him.)

Still, if I didn't know that come Friday evening I'll again have the ability to say "Tag, you're it!" I'd be a sad camper.

I should go as my desk is filling up with Lego cars.

PS. I also miss DDoll greatly, but that's a different topic.
