...agh!... I just typed in a long reply and it disappeared! Here's a shortened version.
I forgot to mention a few things in my earlier post...
I don't think it's a big deal to have 2 kids in diapers. We overlapped for about 9 months and to tell you the truth, sometimes diapers are easier than the potty! When dd tells us she has to go, we have about 3.8 seconds to get to the bathroom! We were at a local park yesterday and she said she had to go - when I got to the closest bathrooms there was a big sign saying they were closed for the winter!! I knew we didn't have time to find open bathrooms so we used the emergency portable potty that I keep in the back of the car. Poor kid had to drop her pants outside in 38 degree weather!
I don't know how much stuff you have in your office, but if you had to could you snag a corner of the family room or your bedroom? Unfortunately, it's not the same as having your own private hideaway (sigh).
And now the whining...
DH is in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for the week and I'm at home with the girls (ages 3.5 and 14 months) watching a nor'easter dump a ton of snow. I'm trying to figure out how I can snowblow our huge driveway tomorrow while the girls are inside and unattended. Hopefully I can get it done while the 1 year old is napping tomorrow morning. I don't know how single parents do it all - it must require a ton of planning, patience and practice!
