What A Day!

So, as some as you may know, Jeff has been gone for the last two weeks working on his spanish in the Dominican Republic. Since today was our last day without Dada I figured we should do something fun to pass the day. Rilyn and I decided to build a fort, or tent according to her, in her room. I remember doing this as a kid and thought is was greatest thing. Rilyn really enjoyed our little space and we ended up playing Dr., having a tea party and then having a picnic with all her "friends" aka stuffed animals.

Sounds like a good day, right? Well, that is what I was thinking until the evening rolled around. Emerson could not be consoled this evening, it seemed as if she was crying every 5 minutes. During bath time I was working on getting Emerson to sleep while Rilyn was playing with all her toys. Next thing I know Rilyn is yelling for me that she had an accident. I walk in to find that she had pooped in her bath, and of course it was the kind of poop that divided into several different pieces. While I tried to figure out the best approach to clean both Rilyn and the tub, of course Emerson sat and cried the whole time. By the time I got everything cleaned up I decided to give Emerson a bath in the sink. Right in the middle of her bath Rilyn started yelling that she had to go pee pee. So, I am sure you can imagine me grabbing Emerson out of the sink, soaking wet, running with Rilyn into the bathroom, trying to help her up onto the potty while holding Emerson and thinking the whole time, THANK GOD Jeff gets home tomorrow. The question I have is, how do single moms do it???
