My son started school a month ago. He only went for 2 weeks because he was sick the rest of the time. Last week was his second week, he was still crying during the drop-off, which was a little hard for me. But today was a lot more different. My husband took him to school while I stayed home. When he came back he said that our son didn’t cry at all! I was so shocked and happy. On his way home, my husband (he is the best!) even stopped to get me my favorite drink from Starbucks. That’s the kind of surprise I love! That was a really nice start to my morning. And guess what? The rest of it was just as good! My husband stayed with me in the living room, working on his laptop while I was doing all the chores I needed to do.
I know that it may seem silly that my perfect morning was just tidying and cleaning while listening to loud music. But the secret was: I wasn’t interrupted at all, not even once, in 4 hours! 4 hours, people!! With my son staying with me at home for 2 years, I couldn’t clean or do laundry easily. I had to hold him 80% of the time! But now I have 8 hours for me during the week. So I can go to the bathroom alone, shave in more than 2 minutes, cook, clean… My house seems nice today. And my mind is doing much better than it ever did in the past 2 years. I now realized that 8 hours is a lot! It’s plenty of time to take care of the house and even a little bit for me! So now I feel like I won’t be able to complain anymore, especially on school days. It makes me happy, but not only me! My son and my husband are too! I feel so relaxed today. By putting our son to school, I also entered the lunchboxes’ world, which is not my favorite one, but that is a topic for another post!
Happy day Mom, Dad or whoever you are!
