We have a nice rhythm going for our summer. One that allows us to get our work done, mostly, and have activities for us and the little kids. In amongst that we have naps, visitations, speech therapy, etc. All that is about to change.
Dave is going back to work at the park. He had told them when the little man came to live with us that he probably was completely retired. They had talked to him at the beginning of the season about working and he said yes if it could be a part time shift. There was no such critter, so they were going to see if a shift could be time shared. Nothing came of that and we went on with our life and making our routine.
This week they called again. They are short staffed so they got permission to create a part time shift just to get Dave back. The details got worked out and Dave goes back to work on Monday. It has to feel good to him for them to do this just to get him back. They really appreciate his work ethic.
So starting on Monday our rhythm changes. No more impromptu picnics away. Now we will just do it at the park. No more dinners with David in the middle of the week, and boy am I going to miss those. Guess we could invite him to our picnics at the lake. :) We'll have to fit our activities in on the weekends like every one else. :P
It will be good. It will give Papa a break from child care duties. And it is only until Labor Day.
