TMOTH left for his 40th-birthday skiing trip today at 2 am. So now, until Saturday morning, I'm single mom. So far, a mere 6 hours into the day, the house is a shambles, we've blown my entire weeks worth of activities, and I"m considering opening a beer to get me through. Do you suppose that's a problem?

Stuff we've done so far:

Got up (I'm giving myself credit for everything, thank you very much)
got dressed (ditto)
fed everyone
Went to Michael's to buy yarn for Grandma's care package.
Mailed said care package
Went to the gym (thank god for babysitting)
Went out to lunch
Painted pictures

The kids have appointments with the doc this afternoon- Harry can't hear out of one ear and Molly can't see out of one eye, so unless I lose my voice (thus completing the "See no evil/ hear no evil/ speak no evil" motif) we're going to have do something about it. My theory? Molly has my bum left eye (which I have always had limited vision in) and Harry has squirted so much water in his ears (using the squirty bath tub toys) that he's just just flooded his eardrum. Neither is life threatening and I'm not terribly concerned- excpet that we have to go out in the looming Snowpocalypse (the 10th this winter by my count) to do it.

Post doctor, I'm figuring on make your own pizza and a movie with popcorn. after that, I've got nothing. I'm open to suggestions.
