House/Train Trained!

It has been a few weeks now with Alex off commuting in North Sydney. My job is to man the house for the 13-14hrs that he is not here.

In reality it's just like Alex working overtime all the time. The biggest difference is we do not have dinner together and the kids only see him just before they go to bed. Mathena misses him the most. She wakes up and now knows to say "Daddy, work?" when she discovers daddy's not around. Letitia came up with a conclusion that "Mommy, you do the most for us at home!". When asked why she thinks so she replied that "you cook for us, you fix our activities, you bath us etc". Wow! After reassuring her that her daddy has as BIG a role in the house as well, though he's not here, I am somewhat proud of her observation skills.

It's tough for Alex to get up at 5.30am to get ready for work. He's day is sooo much longer. I am awake too but at least I have the option to "not get out of bed". I remember my commuting days to Town Hall. It was not fun at all, especially when you are prone for train-sickness!! I am very proud to have such a husband.
