Andy is in Asia this week so I am playing single mom. Playing a single parent is hard for any parent used to having a partner to share responsibilities with but in my case it is especially difficult because somewhere over the course of the last couple of years (since I was pregnant), Andy has picked up the lion’s share of the responsibilities around the house. I offer to help but he mostly has it covered so I let him do it with very little arm twisting. The conversation usually goes something like, “Oh, I can do dishes.” ”I got it.” ”Okay, thanks.” And then I happily play with Belén instead.
So what Andy’s trip means is that I gotta step up my domestic game. I have to figure out how to fit in work, exercise, getting myself ready, getting Belén ready, day care drop off, day care pick up, dinner, laundry, groceries, flower watering, mail getting, dishes, picking up the house, playing with the animals, playing with Belén, feeding the animals, paying bills, you get the picture…IT WILL BE A BUSY WEEK!
Because of this, I am going to space out the photos we took last week at the fair and keep it simple (but still exciting) on this here blog!
This was the first time we had been to the fair in probably eight years. It was a lot of fun experiencing it through the yes of a 16-month old.
AND NOW…..LET FAIR WEEK BEGIN!
