My husband has been traveling for the past three weeks. He arrived home last night and even though he went to work this morning I feel like I am on vacation. Knowing that he will be home this evening is such a relief. To say "I survived" might be too melodramatic but at the onset I didn't think I would. Three strategies that helped me survive:
Napping when the kids napped
Radical reduction of on-line time
Staying on task with household chores all day
But the real reason I made it was Cate and Si have started to play together!
(A photo captured through the screen window as not to disturb the miracle.)
So I am back on-line but with a new balance. Now I must go visiting.
