Ah, the first week - how to sum it up? Oddly, as soon as I knew I was going to be in this position, I was desperate to get my laptop up and running so as to fully document this experience. I even had all kinds of profound things I was going to say. However, once I got my computer, caught up with emails, gave a quick update on the blog, paid bills and such, I kind of ran out of steam. So here I am.
The first couple of days were spent mostly coordinating what was going on with the kids, getting my "affairs in order", getting people up to speed, etc. Then I settled into a rhythm of sorts: up with Tristen (who thankfully is quite self-sufficient), make sure he eats, has lunch and school stuff together, then see him off to his ride; sleep a little on the couch until Mace wakes up; let him watch TV until Monster gets up; get all of us breakfast; lay back down; have Mace get dressed, get him set for school, wait for his ride; lay back down; hang out and watch whatever Monster wants to watch on TV the rest of the day; get us lunch sometime in the middle; boys come home; Dad comes home. And take my meds every 4 hours. Yep, that's my day.
Thankfully, PJ had a major change of heart (and more importantly, attitude) a couple of days into this, so that's made things a lot more pleasant around here. He has the oh, so enviable job of being dad and mom, plus mom's gopher, plus working all day, plus walking to and from the bus in the rapidly cooling weather. Not the end of the world, but certainly more than any one parent who is normally part of a pair wants to do for 7 weeks.
Of course, once I had internet access again, I lost no time in researching pre-term labor, preemies and all that stuff. Very helpful to my state of mind. But hey, that's what I do.
