Work-related stuff is still insane, both in terms of the work load and being thrown into new projects that I am completely unprepared for or have a good understanding of. Yet, I am supposed to be responsible for these projects. I feel a little bit calmer (for now) - one thing was sent to the client yesterday and I feel like I am beginning to gain perspective and have a better idea about what questions to ask. (Hopefully the client doesn't totally hate the slide decks we sent her... Ugh, that is entirely possible - no one on the team was entirely sure about what she was looking for...).
On the home front, one of my kids had a sleepover at my parents house. It's amazing how much things shift when only 2 kids are home! Yesterday evening felt so much easier to manage. Husband and I went for a late evening walk - it was warm and humid but not outright terrible. The girls played Hogwarts Legacy for a bit and then got themselves to bed at a reasonable time while we were out.
One of my highschoolers is already done with her math work, and about half way through the required book. The other one - not so much... I am trying to work out how much nagging/reminding is needed from me so that he doesn't leave it all until the last week before school. I want him to get back into the habit of studying every day - like spending maybe about an hour on school-related stuff. I am getting a lot of pushback on that... It's not like he does nothing all day - he has running in the mornings, works ~3 days a week, practices violin... But there is also a lot of wasted time.
What's your work/life balance looking like these days?
