I started back to work in September and I love it!! With my schedule (2:30pm-6:00pm), it leaves David to make dinner most nights. This is hard when I have been the one making dinners for so long (even more so when David worked in his older job and was only home for dinner 2 nights a week). David is also now back at work (he has been out of work since April) he works overnight from 11:00pm to 7:00am, so he is tired and really does not have energy to make dinner, help the girls with homework, and take care of the younger 3 boys.
We want everyone to have a good dinner and for it to be healthy. Pinterest is my best friend lately. I have been able to find freezer crockpot meals. I can do 1-2 days of cooking and prepping (mostly just prepping) and have meals to last us a month or more. I am hoping this can help us with our issues with eating dinner late and not really having time to sit down as a family before bedtime. Now I can have dinner started before i have to go to work and it can be ready by the time I get home. I hope this can get in to a good routine.
Now lets hope our routine does not take long to get on. We have some busy days and that is without appointments for Logan or the other kids. I feel like we are on the run more than last school year. Next to tackle is a good laundry schedule, we have 3 days a week to get laundry done for 7 of us, as well as cloth diapers for the 2 little boys.
