My wife has been in Japan for
the last couple of weeks and just got back yesterday. She took one of our kids (4 year old) and I took care of
the other (8 year old). It was nice having some time alone with my older son; we went hiking and stuff like that,
but mostly it was a harsh crash course in life as a single parent. If I\'d had the 4 year old, I think I would
have flipped out. As it was I think I did all my parent duties OK, but it was like there was some sort of dark
cloud hanging over the house. I didn\'t really take care of myself very well. It was like the movie Mr. Mom only
I didn\'t invite the neighborhood moms over for poker.
Anyway, great to have the Mrs. back. I even got some
nifty presents from Japan.
