Motor oil?
Husband is leaving town for 6 days.
Childcare provider is also out of town.
Have quite a stack of work that is piling up.
So, that will be it for a week...me, trying to negotiate with a toddler about, oh, EVERYTHING, while pretending to be a professional, toxicology consultant at the same time. And, OUCH!, and, GRRRR, and ARGH, I just got my period.
I still know I am lucky. A new day is dawning before my eyes and I am about to see it. Not every human in the world can say that today. I try to remember that when things start to fly out of my illusion of control. I call it getting back to the fundamentals. As in, Oh! I woke up! Okay. Go. March ahead.
So am I kidding about the motor oil? We'll see.

Oh dear! This does not sound like a week I'd be looking forward to. But, I know you'll come out of it stronger. Maybe, at the end of the week, you'll even say "What was I so worried about?" Or you'll be drinking motor oil. (I'll think positively for you!)
We saw the dawn of this day, too. Katie got out of bed at 5am. She tip-toed to our room in the dark carrying her bear pillow, mickey mouse, baby doll, blankie, and somehow managed to reach a cup of chocolate milk off the counter. We woke up to her saying, "Oh no, spilled it. Katie mess! Clean up." All over our carpet.
