The Day My Wife Left Me

Yesterday I got home from picking up my daughters at Guide and Sparks winter camp and less than an hour later my wife left. She just said good bye to the girls and left. A friend came and picked her up and now it is just me, three girls and the cat.

Ever since she left I have been trying to live life much as before.

  • The girls and I played for the afternoon
  • I finished the laundry
  • I changed several diapers
  • I fed the girls lunch, dinner and breakfast
  • I did the dishes
  • I read to the girls and put them to bed
  • I got them up and took my two oldest girls to school
  • I’m spending the day hanging out with my youngest daughter

All-in-all a normal day. We are doing fine so far…

I just hope I survive until she gets back later today from her much needed kid-free day away.

    The suspense was palpable. When I began reading I had this overwhelming sense that there was a plot twist ahead. Then came the end and I rejoiced like one of those three girls. I’m so glad you’re wife returned! Mom knows where all the good stuff is. 😉

      The most remarkable thing this time was that no one asked how she escaped from the house and who was looking after the kids…

        Haha. I’ve heard that line… wait, I’ve said that line! Glad they all made it through the tough ordeal.

I’m sorry #ottawa. I left my snow tires on specifically to avoid anymore of this nonsense. Yesterday I had a conversation about the prospect of taking them off. Now I have to leave them on until July.
