Before having children: Ah. Day off work. Sleep in a little in the morning. Get up and do some chores around the house. Spend the afternoon catching up on a little work. Spend the evening reading a good book. Return to work Tuesday rested and rejuvenated and ready to go. Just what a day off is for.
After having children: School is closed. The boy wakes up at 7am anyway. We make a list of chores around the house, and let him fill in the other activities he wants to do. Play shop. Play with marbles. Spend the afternoon at the playground. We fight a little over dinner -- he won't eat his peas even though he once loved them. More chores in the evening. Bedtime comes, and I'm free at last. But although the library book beckons, I have to get ready for work tomorrow.
*Sigh*.
