So I have a new deal for apple crisp season. Starting last week, I am working from home. I should go into the office once or twice a week, depending on everyone's need. But generally speaking, I work here. We gave up an office in our building and consolidated my space with another consultant.
Last Wednesday was the first day and honestly, it was a little scary. I wasn't quite sure how well I would be able to focus, didn't quite have everything in order. Well, I still don't have it all in order. But it's getting there. But the kids had visitation day and instead of it being a big freak out and juggle and tightrope, I just went and then came home and did 4 or 5 hours of work.
The kids' first day of school was last week. I was able to go to the bus. And then to the school for the new parent breakfast. And then I worked a full day. Thursday night was touch and go. I'm finding that the end of my work day and the kids arrival home coincide to maybe be a bit overwhelming for me. I believe I will try to finish up at 3 most days now. Then I can walk or do the eliptical or some form of physical activity before they get home. I think it will help me burn off the energy and maybe make it better for us all.
Otherwise, I will be all agitated and clean out closets (10 bags for Thursday's Big Brother Big Sister pick up anyone?) or rearrange the living room (it looks great thankyouverymuch) or just sit around looking for things to do. I'm pretty sure that if I don't find a solution, ChowderDad will arrive home one evening to find that I've knocked the wall down between the kitchen and breakfast nook and have rendered the entire back half of our house totally useless.
That sounds like an awesome setup.
