It’s Oddly Quiet in Here
September 2nd 2008 13:21
The house is empty and I know it’ll stay this way until 2:45pm this afternoon. I know this time of year is going to happen for the next twelve years, but it still feels odd . . . the kids are all at school, hubby2b is at work, and I’m here clicking away on my word processor. It feels odd.
Transitioning from one routine to another is always an interesting experience in this household. There’s never the same end result. One child will be fine with one transition at one time, but not okay another time. Only one of our children was outwardly nervous about the first day of school and, strangely enough, it was the oldest . . . the one who should be the most used to going to school yearly by now.
I thought for sure my youngest would be nervous because it’s his first full day of school, and his first experience eating lunch at school. He was fine this morning, and very excited to hop on the bus and get the heck out of here. Way to go, little one!
Even though I have more time to complete my work now, I still feel like I need to race against the clock. I have to do this, I have to do that, what if I don’t have time to do that other thing?! I’ve already decided that the pile of laundry waiting to be folded on the love seat can wait until tomorrow, as well as cleaning out the fridge. I did all the rest of the housework yesterday. So, I’m not falling behind . . . I’m balancing and prioritizing!
What’s your day like?
