Weekends

Do moms ever really get a day off? 

This last weekend the littles were at their dads, I was looking forward to staying up late with friends then sleeping in the next morning. HA I spent the entire weekend cleaning the house, picking up toys and preparing for the week ahead. One rule I do have is to take a couple hours on these weekends for myself, which meant a long shower with lots of singing and loud music and date night with my someone special. When I did get my kids home on Sunday afternoon it was a long day, the kids were grumpy, tired and are now getting sick. Does anyone else have this issue I swear every time the kids get home from dads it’s a hassle getting kids back into their normal routine. If for some reason I don’t get the kids until late on Sunday then we are really in for a long night everything about their routine is thrown out off balance and it takes days to get them back. We have always had open communication when it comes to the kids and he claims he keeps them on schedule but it never fails when they get home we have to readjust.
