Whew!

After a long, but surprisingly enjoyable, five days of single-parenting, the McCauley kids' daddy will be returning late tonight. While he was away, I somehow managed to get through two soccer games and a practice, 4 loads of laundry, countless loads of dishes through the dishwasher, baked two cakes, a birthday party, 14 meals, 12 bedtime stories, and.....redecorating.

Anybody reading this is probably wondering "Who in their right mind decides to redecorate their house while singlehandedly taking care of three children?!" (I'm actually thinking that to myself as I type this post!) Anyway, my sweet sisters helped me put up new window treatments, some fancy stenciling and pictures. You will all have to wait for pictures, though, because my long-lost husband took my camera to D.C.

I am relieved that I have go out of town myself for a business meeting tomorrow and will not return until Thursday. Megan, Kellan, and Jacksen are probably relieved as well - my patience is not what it was last Friday when Marc left! I plan on eating a delicious dinner that somebody else cooks and heading back to my motel room for a blissfully quiet evening of HGTV. I know....you'd think I'd have gotten my fill of redecorating after the weekend, huh?!
