We start early! It is a lot easier getting things done, but it’s hard watching them grow up. I like to make lists. Being able to see what I have to do makes it more doable for me.

I melt. I love your positivity and know that though the extra time will be put to good use, this must be such a hard transition to make. Sending hugs!

I am not looking forward to next year when I send off my youngest of four. I am homeschooling him this year, and if I was selfish I would continue to do so the rest of his school life 😀

Transition “gracefully”. Take a second and watch how I transition every year:

Kids go to school and I go home and go to work! It’s rewarding to see what can be done without any interruptions but the day is not near as much fun. But I do get a lot done during the day and then I have the nights free to enjoy the kids!

My youngest is starting head start so I will have a solid block of time every day for exercise and work.

I work full time – but work from home on Fridays and when both kids are gone I get so much done for work and housework!

I am actually looking forward to staying home for once, I’ve always worked full time and will welcome the time at home with everyone.
