We have recently had a change in our home life and schedules. My husband was promoted at work which is a great thing but unfortunately,it has changed his schedule. He went from working normal hours Monday through Friday, same as me, to working every other weekend. So that leaves me at home with three 4 year old toddlers on the weekend. YAY! Now I know there are mothers that do this by themselves day in and day out. Those moms are awesome and more power to them! This is not going to be a poor pitiful me post.
