It's a bit different this week... no question, no lead, Wayne just wrote about where we are and what we're facing as a couple and I'm going to try to share my side of the same issue...
This has been an incredibly busy and different week for us... it always is when I take on a project or activity that takes me away from our home, our children and our routine... We normally fall into a routine where the children and errands are my domain - arranging for where everyone needs to be and what needs doing, but this week was somewhat different because my focus was also in organizing and running a book fair for Robyn's school... and because of the time of year, I wasn't able to draw as much from the sources of volunteers I have in the past, which has meant that the whole Book Fair has been my responsibility... which means I've relied on Wayne to step out of his normal routines and take on more at home, which always stresses him out... leaving work undone at the office...
He is independent at work for the most part... autonomous is probably a better word... and he's usually really good at managing his time, his projects and his workload... except when I throw a wrench into his plans ... even if I've given him months of notice, it always seems to sneak up on him... and adds to his stress...
It also means that we don't have time to communicate... we've had less time to just talk and be a couple... and with that builds stress... to be honest, I've been living in a sleep deprived bubble for a few weeks so I have been on edge anyway and this stress just adds to it...
I think what's worse for me now is that Wayne is going to have to take more family/couples time to catch up at work because I took him away from his routine... the good thing though is that he's had some bonding time with Erik that he's been missing out on... even if they both went into it kicking and screaming...
