Single Mom's Log - Day 2

Weather: Cold. Flurries this AM. Gray skies. Pissing me off.

Been on parenting island for over 24 hours now, and so far no sign of mutiny. Perhaps aided by efforts to keep children busy every waking moment. Also lucky that today is Little Gym day. Have not had to break out foam stickers or Wii yet. Saving that for emergency.

Happy to report that all signs of cold and ear infection have vanished--expect them to return now that I have mentioned it.

Received word from husband that he arrived safely in land of sun and warmth. Idea of him enjoying sun and warmth also pissing me off. Hope he works long, hard days with little time for meals or sleep. Must remind him not to bring home any swine flu.

Weather forecast for tomorrow looks promising. Hoping to send children outside for extended periods of time. Also planning dinner with friend. Wish this could involve alcohol, but good conversation and tiring out children will more than make up for lack of drinks.

Item of note: For first time since moving here saw fire truck and ambulance on our street today. Was not kidding when said my life is exciting.
