Today Victoria goes back to work and I begin my month-long tenure as a homemaker. Elaina and I are both a little nervous (and I think Victoria is too). I've got big shoes to fill--Victoria has been wonderful with Elaina. Nevertheless, I know we'll be alright, because Victoria left me armed with very clear instructions and a schedule.
I'm hopeful that our arrangement will work out well. I'm working only ten hours per week this month, 4 in the office and teaching my classes/ 6 from home (don't laugh at my naivete in thinking I'll be able to get that much work in during Elaina's naps...). Victoria meanwhile is back working full time.
As I was getting the final OK on my schedule from my direct supervisor she wisely cautioned me to not waste any of Elaina's waking moments by focusing on work instead of time with my daughter. I realize this month will be a special time with Elaina. I'm blessed to have such an opportunity and look forward to making the most of it.

In a pinch, Aunt Krista is just a phone call away. You know, just in case Victoria left something out of those instructions. HA, HA!
