Observations

1.) Single parents have the hardest job in the world.

2.) 6:00pm is an evil hour for mothers; as if the actual labor and the misshapen bodies are not enough, we have to contend with Mr. Hyde every night while we try to prepare dinner. Offering snacks, treats and/or videos will not pacify the situation. Holding said child will not pacify the situation. A nap will not pacify the situation. There is no pacifier for the situation, except maybe a stiff drink.

3.) Having dogs who are hyper-protective is annoying when your family is together. When you are alone at night however, because your husband is away, having dogs who are hyper-protective is a relief.

4.) You don't know fear until you have bathed a child who has not yet had their afternoon poo.

Oh! I remember #4 well! Nothing like doing the whole bath routine twice! :)
