Piece of Cake Life

Days 3 and 4 - Well, this weekend I discovered that giving up a child makes life amazingly simple.  Okay, so you can't do this all of the time (as appealing as this may seem sometimes), but whew - I forgot how easy it was to have just one kid.  I mean really, why did one seem so hard?  My daughter went to her grandparents house for a few days, and we just had the one year old.  I even had him all by myself on Saturday while my husband did a ridiculously long 103 mile bike ride and it still felt like a vacation.  I didn't have to give anything else up to help make my life simpler. So maybe not easily repeatable - but if you really need to simplify, send your kids to someone else for a day!
