Well, I am not a single parent, but dh went back to work 2 days after we returned home with Alex and I was on my own for 8 weeks.
I would either shower when Alex slept, if that wasn't an option I would put him in his exersaucer and keep the bathroom door open so I could see him, also if she needs to , put her in the bathroom in an exersaucer while she showers.
When I went back to work, since dh leaves earlier than I do, I would shower the night before and also make sure I was up before Alex. I gave enough time to give him a bottle, he usually did not want food until 9:00 so he ate at my sisters who watched him at the time.
The schedule I just stayed pretty persistant on. I tried my best to keep the house clean, but kind of resigned myself to the fact that until we had a schedule, it got done when it got done.

I hope this helps,
Vicki
