My only goal was to keep them fed and alive. If I had to feed them pasta at every meal and rely on 10 hours of Sprout tv, then fine. Absolutely no super-mom goals. No cleaning, no errands, and minimal bathing. <BR/><BR/>Usually I set all these stupid goals when he's gone. I'll redo our bedroom! and knit matching sweaters for everyone! and clean the whole house from top to bottom! Not this time. And strangely, with this new Minimal Effort Mom thing going on, I was way more relaxed and ended up accomplishing more and being a better mom. Even my husband said it must have gone well, because I didn't sound like I was about to twist off when he'd call.<BR/><BR/>So, my advice to you: jammies, pizza, and a stack of movies. The world won't come to an end if you spend a few days hibernating. Good luck, dude.

I could totally wing-it during the day but the dinner to bed hours were the hardest.<BR/><BR/>Plan something to keep them out of your sight during those times and you'll be great. Like Puzzles - but take away a piece or two so they can never finish them. That always keeps them busy. Oh, that's cruel? Sorry.
