Thankfully, the return to our regular schedules are staggered throughout the week. After two weeks of slothfulness I don't think I could take a cold turkey reentry to reality. I returned to work this morning, while Hubby and the kids stayed home.
I like this set up:
- I was only responsible for myself, getting myself up (with Hubby's help), ready, fed, and out the door.
- A "to-do" list, for everyone's enjoyment, was left behind while I went to work. The kids dusted, swept, Hubby took down Christmas decorations and washed dishes. They even stripped beds and started the laundry. Seriously, I can get use to this "mom leaves for work while everyone else stays home and cleans house" situation.
- Then, after my grueling 4 hours of work (yes, that was tongue in cheek) I returned home to hugs from my kiddies, and the undying love and gratitude of my husband. He loves spending time with the kids, but he can't understand how I survived 10 years of being home, alone, with children.
