With R&R safely tucked behind us it is time to get back into old routines. Easier said than done, I have had a reminder of what life used to be like, once upon a time.
I got a little spoiled over my two week interruption. Again, no disrespect to the time spent with my husband, but I am sure he will understand what I mean.
It is the small things that I will miss, like not having to buckle the little guy in his car seat every time we go somewhere, or disrupting his schedule because I have to pick up my daughter from work past his bedtime.
Typically I enjoy night time but now I am reminded that I am alone. It is time to start looking for that silver lining I am so fond of, for example, I am now 100% in charge of the house temperature! It is almost a game to change the thermostat to see how long it is before he realizes it and guess whether or not he will call me out or simply change it back the ONE degree I moved it. Looking back, I don't even know if that one degree was anything more than asserting my control or if I really needed an additional degree of warmth.
Readjusting is the worst. I know how you feel. I am always thankful for the time that we got to spend together...but it was hard to say see you later yet once again.
