At times, the working at home, and being with the kids all day, can drive me crazy beyond belief.
But, I have adjusted to the new schedule, and things are going pretty smooth lately. I have to admit, this is the ideal situation.
When it comes to work, I have weekly scheduled conference calls, along with several other work related calls throughout the day, several emails that need attention, reports due, and a lot of detailed analysis on the daily.
As far the kids are concerned, they are in bed by 9pm, no later, but they manage to sleep in until after 9am. I get a lot of work done prior to their arrival upstairs for breakfast. I can then take a break, make them something, get them settled into whatever activity, assign their chores, make sure they are “OK” before getting back to the work things.
There are nice days, and we have to take time to get out there, so we get about a 30 minute recess in the afternoon, to scooter, ride in the dune buggy, and walk down to Papa’s office and get a treat. The kids really enjoy that, but we try not to make that a daily thing. It’s special. 🙂
The other benefits include, being able to get laundry & dishes done in between work, having groceries delivered anytime during the day, stepping out on the back deck to feel the breeze, water the plants, and cuddle with a kid or two in between all the things.
This time at home, is priceless. We won’t have this again, so we have to make the most of it.
I have maintained my sanity through this…. so far.. ha
There are some days I feel isolated, but I fix that by going to the gym class 3x’s a week. It’s a GREAT stress reliever too.
We’re definitely on a “STAYCATION”.
