I remember in school, it was so nice to get out early, or have a day off. Now that I’m a mom, I realize what a pain in the butt that can be on the other end! If you are not a teacher you have to work out a plan to make sure that your kid can get home early that day, or someone is able to keep them for the day off. It can be quite perplexing!
For me, my daughter is almost 13 (gosh, she’s making me old) and she is a very mature 13, so being home alone while I am at work for the day is not a problem. However, due to our new home being in a location where the school bus does not run, I now have to find a way to get her home. The other mother, who takes her home in the afternoon also works. (Thanks Amy! You’re a lifesaver!) So she also has the same problem for her daughter. Now I find myself needing to go to my boss to request yet again, to leave work early to go pick up the girls.
While this really shouldn’t be a problem, because I can work from home, without issue, and do work from home on Fridays… I know that it may be an annoyance to this particular boss. Sometimes, I can really relate to that sign that says ‘Bang Head Here’. LOL
Other than that, I am totally loving the new house. The stairs are definitely providing me with some much needed cardio and some help in brain exercises (to remember to grab everything before I go up the stairs). LOL Coco loves running up and down the stairs, and we have yet to bring our cat, Miko over. Which we will do after the weekend. Since we are going out of town, I don’t want to bring her over until we can be there with her for a long period of time, while she gets used to the place. Right now, I think she’s probably in heaven having the old place to herself, and we pay tons of attention to her for a couple hours every day when we go over to get things done/boxed at the old place. Plus she doesn’t have to deal with the dog. =)
Enough for now. It’s time to get some work done. I have a deadline to meet for real work. LOL Maybe one day my writing will pay off and I can consider this my real work. =) Wouldn’t that be nice!
