Week Two

Week Two...

I found week two to be the reality week. Wow not working shows you that there are many hours in the day, and now I'm trying to figure out what to do with them all. When I worked I never had never enough hours in the day.

I was adamant when I left my job that I was going to get some projects done around the house. So I pushed myself to start on one, the office. This room has collected stacks of paper to be filed and more that needed to be purged and shredded not to mention the dust, ugh. I spent a day on this and felt good. I cleaned and organized  all my office stuff, however, the other half of the office, my husbands side is still a mess.

I really was hoping he would instinctively jump on the band wagon and start cleaning and purging his side, yeah not so much. He still works all day and this would be a weekend project for him.

Here comes another discovery to being home all day, the guilt. Now that I am home I feel like I have to be accomplishing something everyday. Previously my husband and I shared all household responsibilities but now I feel a sense of obligation to take on more. Now please note, my husband assures me he does not expect that, this is my own sense of guilt. I have found myself lost at times, standing and staring blankly in the room looking around to do something.  I have spent so much time (years) juggling so many things and to now go to 20 percent of that I feel my mind is not being 100 percent utilized.

I am starting to feel a little under utilized.. What will week three bring?
