Wow. It didn’t take long for my husband to be bumped up to full time at his new job. While we originally weren’t thinking of him working full-time – we’ll take it! With him working full-time and me working more part-time than I was originally thinking, we will actually be making more money for a while. It’s weird how that worked out.
It is different having him working outside of the home since we both were working from home before. Now we have to coordinate schedules. Our trusty wall calendar is back and notes are constantly being written in it. Already we’ve come across a minor conflict and we’ll have to bring a bike out of winter storage (it always happens – it gets colder so we put everything away – then we have a beautiful warm spell). But I am thankful for having a bike and thankful we both are in good enough health to be able to ride one.
I need to be more thankful for the positive things we have. Sometimes it is so easy to forget about that and concentrate on what we don’t have. Or maybe think too much about something negative we have too much of (like debt). After two and a half years at this, I still need to remind myself of that every now and then.

I seem to have done a similar thing. A few months ago I decided to go down to a 4 day working week. It’s been bliss. My company has just asked if I can go back to a 5 day working week (temporarily). It’s a bit funny but I think it’ll be okay. I hope so anyway.
