No Job, What Do We Do Now

Well, it has been real crazy around our house as I have noted in prior posts, but the craziest part is the adjustment we have all made to our new maid, stay at home dad. Mike has retired from the military and is on leave until January when he will actually be fully retired so until then we have an income coming in and we have Mike at home.
It is quite interesting for me to come home from school and the house is completely cleaned, he has fixed dinner and he also does the laundry. My kids are feeling real spoiled. He has been taking them to school and also fixing their lunches and I think their lunches are a lot better than they used to be.
I never thought that Mike would be without a job and be at home while I was gone. It is just crazy but definitely very nice to come home to a clean house and dinner fixed. One thing he doesn't do is the SHOPPING. I sure wish he would but I guess I can't ask for everything. I am so thankful for a great maid, sweetheart and he does it all for FREE.

I will have to post a picture of the new Mike. You won't recognize him.

That is such a blessing, especially during student teaching!

Wow! That must be really nice for you especially during this transition time for your own self and your new career. Is he enjoying it or is it bugging him to not have a job to go to? Is he looking for a job also?

You know, having one adult at home who takes care of the homey stuff really does make a much happier, much less stressful life!

I would gladly continue with the shopping just to have the other things done!
