Children’s Day Out started today for us and this is the end of summer officially for me. I started doing CDO 2 or so years ago, when John suggested I needed a kid-free morning once a week. I love his ideas.
This year is a bit different because I switched my “free day” from Fridays to Wednesdays and from just a morning to 9- 3pm. Now JJ gets out of school at 11:30, so I’m not totally kid-free, but a ton lighter.
Over the years, I’ve realized I need to protect this time and make sure I don’t run around crazy trying to get things done. Instead, I want it to be life-giving and use it to recharge spiritually, mentally and physically. You can check out my prior post about my restart day here.
Today, so far has been a bit out of sorts. Henry, surprisingly, adjusted well to being dropped off , but George did not, and that made me sad. I’m sure he’ll be fine, I just hate it when he cries. I think it’s going to take me a while to figure out how to best use my time, too, because it’s longer. I’ll update you on how it’s going after a couple weeks.
