Tom's on vacation....

This is the first day the kids are back in school from winter break.  The house is quiet again, except...Tom took vacation from work.  Don't get me wrong I love him dearly, but damn I didn't realize I had such a routine.  He is trying to help, the dishwasher was loaded and running when I woke up at 6am this morning!!  I just have a certain order I handle the hectic mornings with the kids, it might not be the most productive way there is to get everyone up and ready, but it's "my" way and the kids are used to it.  I haven't been home with Tom on weekdays in years.  So it's really throwing me for a loop, I should be enjoying the company, and help with Tyler.  He is off to rent a few movies right now, don't know how we are going to sit down and watch a movie together...Tyler will be up in about a 1/2 hour...Nik will be home from school by 2 and Ashley will be home by 3 and Tommy at 3:30.......It is a nice thought though..I'm thinking he has already figured out that I don't just sit on the couch and eat bon bons all day...Tyler is a full time job by himself.
