my job calls for another trip out of town for 3 days and 2 nights, right in the middle of the week. the preparation for these little trips are a struggle for me, and a juggle for my husband while i'm gone. how does one get 3 kids to two different schools, and get to work by 8am? with help! yes, help is the answer, and i've learned that if you don't ask than it's your own damn fault. i am extremely lucky to live near family which has helped us out with our kids on a regular basis.
but with that said...my trips need prep, and at these times i am the most organized. i have outfits for the kids set out, lunches and dinners planned. everyone involved is set with their pick up and drop off duties, and they all have phone numbers for back up. wow, seriously...why am i not always this organized? if i could keep this up while i am home, my life would be a lot easier on a daily basis. but what i haven't mentioned yet, is the fact that i am exhausted and drained after all the prep. i am not that kind of working mom, i will never be that organized, but i will continue to try.
soooo...what would happen if i just packed and left? my husband is a very hands on daddy. he's a wonderful cook, loves his family, and reads to our children. but I still think we'd have kids in mismatched clothes and messy hair at school, with a bag of fishy crackers in their lunch, while i was gone.
