Here's some credit for myself.

Oldest kid was in the garage this morning at 7AM. Came in because he had a speck in his eye and we couldn't flush it out. I got kids ready to head to the bus, and I left with him for the clinic to get his eye flushed.

The stuff happens with mom as I said earlier.

I take son to and from clinic and arrive at work an hour late.

Daughter doesn't want to have mom waiting for her after school, so asks if she can be picked up. I get her from school and she hangs out at my office for the last hour of the day.

We get groceries on the way home, I get the oldest kid's car part for him. I make supper, and do a load of laundry, and help him get started on his project again. He runs into an issue and I am with him until 830pm.

A neighbor stopped in and asked for a few minutes of help too.

I will still clean the kitchen, put away laundry, and have time with the younger kids before the evening is over.

This is a normal day, and it is easier than when she was here. Why? Because I'm doing what I can, not trying to foresee everything that could possibly cause an issue and do it ahead of time.

I'm good enough.
