Solo Dad Weekend: Mom's Away, New Puppy, 2 Soccer Games

Mom's away for the weekend, so it's just me, my son, and our new foster puppy Dempsey. Two soccer games (I'm an assistant coach), groceries, a tire rotation, laundry I'm scared to sort, church, and a whole lot of trying to stay present. If you're a dad carrying the mental load (work, family, finances, the to-do list that never ends), this one's for you. I share the simple system that keeps me from forgetting everything, why I'm done jam-packing our weekends, and what I'm learning in Mark 11.
