The Schedule That Saved Me During 10 Weeks Of Solo Parenting
Between 5:00am and 8:00am, we woke up. I made coffee and did a devotional. This little bit of quiet time kept me going throughout the entire day with a little extra peace, patience, and energy. As I read the Bible the boys watched a chill cartoon (typically Little Bear, Franklin, or some iteration of Winnie the Pooh). I'm normally pretty minimal about screen time and under normal circumstances, I don't like screens while we eat unless we're eating pizza. Pizza has special rules. But so do long summers. As they watched whichever classic cartoon I selected for the morning, they ate some version of a simple protein and carb breakfast.

It was lovely to get to see him for a week, but it didn’t change the fact that I was busy parenting two boys, a freshly three year old and a 10 month old, alone. I will say that my Mother-in-Law was an immense help and kept the boys about once per week to help save some sanity.
