This week is a culminating week in our house. Hubby has been
putting a lot of time and effort into studying for a certification test his
company wants him to have. This is the second of 2 two test. The first test he
passed in the Fall on his third sitting for it. This time we sprung for a
preparation class. This time around he
also did a class. This was 5 weeks of having both Friday and Saturday ties up
from 11 AM – 6:30 (with a 1.5 hour break 2:00-3:30). I have been trying to hold down the fort at
home. But this week, I have been feeling the stress of trying to help him as
much as I can as well as stuff going on at the office. But so far I have done a
pretty good job of keeping it together. I did snap Monday night that I had had
a not-so-great day as we were lightly bickering about what “who does what” with
dirty dishes in the kitchen.
I would really like to put out more of my Easter
decorations, but I am trying to be mindful that it is still Lent. But Spring is starting to make itself know
outside and I am ready to bring it inside. But I am taking it slow…
I have managed to cook dinner for my family every night. I
did not plan last night so I ended up with Breakfast for dinner. Even though Hubby has been home, he has been
heads down studying. He did call Tuesday to ask if I wanted him to do something
with the chicken breasts thawing in the fridge. I was able to bring myself to
say ‘Keep studying, I will make something when I get home.” Once home and
cooking, the 14YO asked “what are you making”. I responded, “I don’t know, I am
winging it”. And no complaints were
heard…

Cooking every night is an absolutely huge success!!! :) Blessings to you.
Maggie, I hear you about the hubby being tied up - even on weekends - due to work responsibilities. My hubby is on business on average once per month for 3-5 consecutive days at a time, and I have to hold down the fort, too. HOWEVER, unlike you, I don't have a job outside the home, so you have truly humbled me! I admire your ability to multitask so well. And, hey, having breakfast for dinner is AWESOME! :)
