“When I started teaching school as a newly engaged lady, every day kind of came with a to-do list: lesson plans, make copies, grade papers, plan a seating chart so Thing 1 and Thing 2 maybe will stop talking. Some days I could get that all together by about 4 and head home and some days, not so much. But I knew what had to get done to make the next day as smoothly as possible.
So when I quit teaching to be home with my daughter, I just assumed at some point I’d fall into a rhythm. After all, I had with teaching. Not that first year, but by the third year, I wasn’t taking home papers to grade and I almost never forgot to run copies.
Naturally I thought being at home would be similar: I’d figure out what I had to get done each day to make the next day go smoothly and then that would grow into a couple days, then a whole week.”
