I know it's no big deal but I think this is a exercise in relativity. I survived the weekend alone with no naps! For whatever reason Owen has decided on weekends he does not like naps. I did everything I could think of, car rides, TV Owen does not like and Stroller rides. I thought the stroller ride was going to work yesterday and I thought I had won the battle but when I went to pick him up to take him upstairs all hell broke loose. No nap for Owen, no nap for Dad either and I really needed one!
I know Patri will have to deal with much, much greater in a week but I feel proud of my accomplishment. I commend all those single parents out there who don't have a loved one coming home after only a week away or have a loved one away for an extended period of time. I grovel in your greatness because it is a truly amazing feat.

It's truly commendable that you were able to do this - there's no doubt. There's no two ways about it - whether it's 1 week, 3 months of 180 days... it's all an amazing accomplishment and a test in patience and self-control. My turn starts on Sunday - I dread. I think that what makes things a big tougher for both you this weekend and me for the next 3 months is that we have no family close by. It's us, and that's it. But I'll unload Crazy on you soon!
I know Paqi, I can't wait for you and Maia to be in Cincinnati for 2 1/2 whole weeks!!! We are going to have fun!
