Seriously, babysitting one's siblings is quite exhausting. Best deterrent for single parenthood/pregnancy I know. :) I figured the three year old would drive me crazy, but I had no idea how exhausting it is to keep the 8 year old and the 10 year old from trying to kill each other. And holy cow--all the cleaning and housekeeping! A gabillion loads of laundry, and all the kitchen cleanup, and Saturday morning chores....and the 2 year old discovered where we hid the marbles (and the marble track/things), so we've been stepping on marbles all day and picking them up at least twice an hour. I am exhausted.
On the bright side, the parents return tomorrow night and can resume their parenting duties! I am quite anxious to relinquish power. :)
On the anticipatory side, we've rescheduled the Cedar Point trip and bought the tickets and booked a campsite and everything. *is excited*
