Oh, it was amazing. The children were well-cared for - fed, bathed, entertained - and aside from acquainting her with how we do things, I was able to work without interruption.
Frankly, I had forgotten what that was like.
And, the kitchen is cleaner now than it was this morning. It's like a dream. A wonderful, happy dream where I can get my work done and not irreparably damage my relationship with my childcare-providing family members in the process.
Maybe one of these days I'll get to exercise, too. I believe in miracles now, it could actually happen!
