pulling away



i'm a bundle of emotions lately, as i always am a few weeks before i return to working outside the home. i am only gone for twentyish hours a week, but it weighs heavily on me, trying to always strike that balance. for me, it has always been good to have a little work-time away from home. i'm a little more sane. but it is exhausting, & i am tired already, though not as tired as i thought i would be. during this time especially, i feel a great need to stay away from the computer, to not squander my time away during the day doing anything other than Being with my children, even if we are all cranky because it's super hot & has been for awhile. how do you cool an old house down, when it's 88 degrees inside in the middle of the night with the air conditioner on & fans going?

i pray for rain. and lots of it.

  1. we are in the same boat as far as old houses and window units- we put up a blanket on our kitchen doorway, and it helps immensely. the kitchen does get pretty roasty, but it's going to be hot anyway with cooking and whatnot.

    i hope you hit a new rhythm quickly with your return to working outside the home :)
