I have 1 week left of ML after DC2 and am then back at work. My first week back, I'm working 3 days - Tues, Wed & Thurs only. Each of the 3 days, I'm attending regional conferences in various locations about 60-90mins from home. DS (3.11yo) and DD (10mo) will both be in nursery.
Originally, DH said he would take the 3 days off work and help with the nursery run. He has now been told he needs to atttend a week long residential course in Madrid so will be away from Sunday afternoon until Friday evening.
Now on paper, I'm sure it's doable as nursery opens at 7.30am and closes at 6.30pm. The conferences are 9am for 9.30am start and finish at 4.30pm. My journeys do include the M25 though and I need to find the hotels that the conferences are in.
Is it pathetic to feel a bit daunted? Any hints or tips for how to cope? I suppose my biggest concerns are getting us all up and ready in the mornings and also DD going longer than usual days without me (especially as I'm still BFing). Also nursery is 30mins from home!
Maybe I just need to take it a day at a time. I think come Sunday afternoon, Friday evening will feel a very long time away!
