Today my son goes back to school-- but now he’s attending the full day program! That means from 8:30 in the morning until 3:30 in the afternoon I’m on my own. This is such a change for me that I’m not sure what to do with myself. Before today my little guy was only in school for 3 hours. In that short three-hour window I had to work, clean the house, do laundry and run errands. Of course there was no time for myself-- so this should be a breeze right? Wrong?
Against all common sense we have decided to start a kitchen renovation. Yes, about 6 or 7 weeks before I’m expected to give birth to twins. I don’t even have the nursery ready and I’m starting on a kitchen!
In my life of chaos I’ve come to realize that stress keeps me going. Having been a reporter for so many years— living with tight deadlines just makes my blood flow. The downside—I’m always tired, my legs hurt from standing too much and I’m not resting enough. But at least now I will have more time to think about taking a break.
