Today was significantly better at home. I got to play with the kids more before they went to bed. It seems like Monday is going to be the bad day. I could make it better by having dinner in the crock pot (assuming I replace the glass lid I broke) or something else that can be done ahead. Today I left a few tasks for the nanny, including putting a turkey tenderloin in the oven. It was done as we walked in the door and little else needed to be done (thank you, Trader Joe’s frozen brown rice — done in 3 minutes, the time it takes me to change out of work clothes). CD’s conference call was cancelled so that made things easier too. He could play baseball with Oliver and I could let Eleanor wear herself out by walking up and down our street. They got to visit the neighbor’s hatching chicks too. A beautiful day, a nice evening, and I’ll be in bed before 11pm.
