**Clueless

I have no idea how it never occurred to me that hubby going back to work full time would increase my personal responsibilities. Duh! What the hell was I thinking?! Where was my brain?!

He started back to work full time (though working from home some days) this week. It was all good - the best laid plans. There were no issues, a babysitter for the off-kindergarten days was easy to find and affordable. The work schedules jived and no one had to change anything. We planned this for a month. A full month I had to figure this out. Never ONCE did it cross my mind that I would have to work full time AND be solely responsible for the kids until after dinner 5 days a week. Not until yesterday. Day one went off without a hitch. Day two came and BOOM! It hit me. It is going to be like this FIVE DAYS A WEEK. PLUS working full time myself. Suddenly I feel oh, so tired.

Sometimes I wonder where my brain is. It was my idea that he work full time. I'll get used to it, I'm sure, but it seems like an uphill climb right now. I need to wake up and smell the responsibility - QUICK!
