Superdad

With two days until departure for Poland, I am attempting to finish up my travel preparations while staying ahead of my normal household responsibilities. My leaving with the laundry caught up, pantry stocked, bills paid, and a meal or two prepared ahead will make Don's life easier during my absence. (Even Superdad can benefit from a running start.)
Thankfully, the kids are all in school, so Don can get in a full day's work without interruption. We have managed to keep the calendar relatively open during the week that I am gone so he won't have to juggle birthday parties, doctors' appointments, or school functions during his single parent days. He will be attending Katie's guitar "parent show-off", chauffeuring for an end-of-year laser tag party, getting the whole crew to church, and taking the kids to a family potluck dinner.
I know that he can manage all the tasks that are typically divided into categories loosely defined as "his", "hers", and "ours", but I still want to minimize as much of the extra "to-do" since he will be filling the Mom-sized hole I am leaving in our family for eight days.
