When my awesome husband is out of town - the typical routine looks completely different:
Let’s start from when I get home from work (and he’s gone):
- Home around 7:15 (much earlier than usual, so I can relieve our afternoon tutor for B&B)
- Grocery store run (because someone needs something for some class)
- Make my dinner (yep - usually the hubby makes me yummy food, but not tonight)
- Eat dinner and watch some TV with kiddos
- Put kiddos to bed
- Evening call to out of town hubby, to catch him up on the evening
- Make lunches for tomorrow (while catching up on TIVO’d TV - so it takes at LEAST two times longer)
- I go to bed, but I don’t really because I turn on the TV in the bedroom (STAY UP TOO LATE WATCHING THINGS I GENERALLY HAVE NO TIME FOR, such as Project Runway All Stars)
- 5:25am: alarm goes off for the morning workout, but I snooze because I’m stiff tired from being up too late the night before
- 6:15: actual up & shower, etc
- 6:40: wake kiddos up
- 6:50: kiddos actually get up
- 6:50 - 7:15: morning blog time for Paperclip
- 7:12: kiddos come down for breakfast, while I finish getting ready for work
- 7:25: start telling kiddos to get in the car to leave for school
- 7:33: actual time we leave for school drop off
- 8:20: arrive at the office (about 20 minutes earlier than when my husband is here)
No complaints - this is just how it goes when he’s out of town.
MUCH different from when he’s here and does a LOT of the typical routine tasks (like making lunches and taking kiddos to school).
