Husband goes back to work next week. No biggie we have had a great month. Really good restful month of lots of lazing around and just chilling. We have had a few arguments. A few a ah ha moments. A few I love you’s. A few you really drive me freaking nuts moments. A few laughing so hard I could pee myself moments. We have had a few birthdays; four in total a first for him being home for them in a long, long time. Its been a really good month. Really good.
So like clock work yesterday morning I started setting the alarm to get up at 5am to get back into routine. I start doing most of the chores for both the sake of giving him that extra rest and so I get back into routine. I start with my list to get me through the next month and then I do a a crazy day of extra cook ups so I have plenty of freeezer meals. I get appointments done that would normally require a babysitter something thats hard to come by. I never realised I did it until yesterday but like clock work the office rang and I was setting the alarm. I guess it makes my transition a little easier the shock to the system isnt as great. Its like easying into a cold pool.
Husband has one. He stops working three days before. Refuses to do anything he doesnt want to do. the intensity of hanging out with the boys borders on smothering. Starts packing his bags the days before. Starts loading all the movies on to his hard drive thingy the week before. Starts muttering he has forgotton something days before. Its a routine I never realised we had.
So my lovelies do you have a pre return routine? or am I just the only crazy getting up at 5am a week earlier than I should to easy myself into that cold pool to get through the next swing?
Have a great day.
