I’m struggling this year… when we had our kid my wife wanted to stay home with her and since we could financially afford it we made it work.
Now she’s in kindergarten and my wife has gone back to work. But with kindergarten comes PD days, a mountain of sick days and, soon, spontaneous snow storms.
I’ve always been able to iron man my way through small business, one sick day in 6 years, and for vacation and time off I can plan for that.
But I’m having a hard time with the chaos and unpredictability of kindergarten lifestyle. Anyone been through it? Anyone able to cope better?
We do larger meals in a slow cooker, like chili or pulled Mexican chicken once a week. That way we have the base of a meal already completed that lasts for a couple or three meals. A slow cooker and a rice cooker are such time savers. :)
It saves so much time. :)
