New to single dad life

94 followers

So I signed up and played on this site for a week, did a few lessons, posted a little. Signed up for the monthly plan. Then life happened in a serious way. Leaving out all the details of why, I am now a single dad of two little girls Sophia (6) and Lola (2). Wife will be hopefully working on getting her life straight, and her priorities. Needless to say, I haven't had much of a chance to get on the computer the past 5 weeks.

I start my day at 5 in the morning, clean myself up, get the girls up at 5:15. Get dressed and teeth brushed and out the door at 5:45 to take the girls over my wifes oldest daughters house, Alexendra. Get the kids settled in bed with her, and hopefully Sophie gets another hour or so of sleep before Alex gets her ready for school. I leave Alex and Andrew's (fiancee) apartment with Andrew. I have been giving him a ride to and from work for about 4 months while he gets his license straightened out. We take out 45 min commute into Rochester, I drop him off and then hed to work 10 mins down the road myself. <Work> nothing much to say here but I am really tired of it and leaving the girls every day breaks my heart a little. I NEED TO BE WORKING AT HOME.

I leave work at 3:30 PM, go pick up Andrew and we commute back home for 45 mins. Get to his place and by this time Alex has gone to work and Andrew's mother Lori is there to get Sophie off of the bus and watch all three, the third is Silas - Andrew and Alex's son, of the kids until we show up. Andrew, stays home there with Silas, I take Sophie and Lola with me. (Sometimes give Lori a ride to pick up her son and take her to her car that Alex had to drive to work because she had no ride) Then the girls and I go home, unless we have shopping to do, you know for things like food and stuff. We get home around 5ish. get upstairs, get a little comfortable, get the girls a snack maybe. Now I have 3 hours before Sofie and Lola need to be in bed. So the night is filled with making dinner, maybe a load of laundry, picking up and vacuuming, getting clothes ready for tomorrow, baths for the girls, school stuff for Sophie. Maybe some snuggle time on the sofa watching a show. 8:00 PM, time for bed, girls are down and I am pretty much down as well, maybe a couple nights a week I get back up to have a little time for myself, but usually not.

So this is why I need to be able to work at home and somehow I am going to have to make time and make WA work.
