Being a single mom

For the past four days I have basically been a single mom. Scott left Wednesday morning for a seminar in Salt Lake City and will not be home until about 2:00 am, which is only about 5 hours away. Hooray!!
Anyway, these four days without him have been good, bad and at times down right ugly! The whole situation gives me a new respect for single mothers. I don't know how anyone can do it alone all the time. It got pretty rough almost everyday when bedtime was approaching, the kids get sick of me by then, and they're tired. Corbin and I start fighting a little bit and it's pretty frustrating. The worst part is in the middle of the night and one of them wakes up and cries waking the other, and they are both wiggin' out. At 4:00 am my patience level is pretty low, and with both of crying it's not fun. What am I supposed to do?!
Luckily, we are at the end of the four days and no one died or was severly injured! So I suppose we'll have to call it a success. I should probably get used to this setup for future seminars, but I am not looking forward to it.
