Trickery

I really thought I'd have time to take care of me when EJ started school. But it's not happening. Instead, I am more busy than ever.

Yesterday was EJ's first day back at school for the second term. I was able to leave the school after 15 minutes inside. I quickly went home and started the chores. I thought I'd be able to exercise more but I found myself having to rush everything from ironing, making up the bed, cleaning the house, cooking, etc. I had to go back to school and pick up EJ before 1PM.

I went to bed last night feeling very tired.

This morning a bright idea flew out of my head. If I don't have to go and pick EJ up, I'd have more time in my hands. I don't need to rush. I can exercise, clean the house, iron clothes, cook lunch and still have time to take a leisurely shower.

But who would pick up EJ? My dear husband, of course.

I told hubby that I had stomach cramps and cannot pick up EJ. He'd have to do it. At first he was hesitant but of course he didn't have any choice. Besides, picking up EJ won't take much of his lunch time. The travel time would only take him 30 minutes maximum.

When hubby arrived home with EJ, I asked him if he was tired or stressed. He said, it was okay. I smiled.

Everything's shaping up great!
