In Eric's care

Katie flew out of town on a business trip Monday and Tuesday. She arrives home tonight. That said, I had my first night totally on my own last night. I think I handled the situation pretty well. Amanda is still alive; she made it to and from daycare without incident yesterday. Here is a brief rundown of the day in the life of a single dad starting Monday morning.
