In a few hours, my wife starts work again. She works for the school district, so she’s had summer vacation with us, and it has been terrific. I’ve been slowly but steadily getting worse since the beginning of 2011. By the end of the school year, I was well past the limits of what I could handle.
But then summer started, and my wife was around to help, and she picked up the slack. Yay! She really is all sorts of amazing.
But. She goes back to work in a few hours. (Our kids start school a week later.) She won’t be able to pick up the slack any more. And I’m doing worse now than I was when the summer started. I have no idea how to make this work.
I’m pretty scared. Like, terrified, really.
