Not sure that I’ll have the energy to post anything after today.  Today is the first day that my wife and mother in law are out of town for a trip together.  I have all three girls by myself with no help.  This afternoon we went shopping for Christmas presents for mommy.  Then we all went out to dinner….what can go wrong with a 10, 5 and 2 year old at a restaurant right?  How about a two year old with a bloody busted lip.  Went downhill from there.  We did managed to finish dinner although I did pay the bill right after we ordered just in case we needed to dash.  All in all, not too bad for day one.  Of course mommy didn’t leave town until about 2pm so we’ll see what a full day is like tomorrow.  Never mind the 10 times that I will need to get up tonight.  If you’re a mother reading this you’re probably thinking I’m a wimp.  You might be right.  I’m in awe of my wife’s abilities to do this every day.  I’m glad that I get to spend time with my children though!!!  If you haven’t done it lately I suggest you do the same.
