Obsess Much?

Just this morning I was talking with Matt and giving him the run down on how my mornings work. In a few days I am going to have to hand over the reigns to my hubby, completely, and I can only think about all the little things I feel he needs to know. I think of running this house and our family as my job, a job I am blessed to have, but still my job. So, since Matt is not home as much, he should be in training as he would be with any job. It was only 8:15 and I had already made our bed and our boys' beds. I had also started folding laundry. I was pointing out to Matt that I don't have the luxury of staying in bed until 9 or 9:30 just because I don't work outside of the home. It's not that Matt doesn't think I work hard, that is not the issue. I know my husband feels I work just as hard as he does, I am only trying to prepare him for what it is like to stay at home full time, and also have a patient to take care of. I guess I think he forgets about all the little intricacies that go on at home aside from dishes and laundry. Yes, he can clearly see when the floor needs to be swept and when the laundry basket is full. But there is SO much more! Planning dinner menus for one, that can take me an entire afternoon just thinking of what to cook. Not to mention my grocery lists. Picking up children from school is not that complicated, but when they get home there is more to do than have a snack. Homework, cleaning bedrooms, signing folders, listening to them talk about their day--which for Alexys can take a while. When I was talking to my mom about my concerns, she basically told me I was being irrational and do have more faith in my husband. "He is a big boy." she said. I agree with her 100% my inability to let go of the control is the biggest part of this issue. I like things done in a particular manner and having someone do my jobs differently is hard to watch. I guess I will take advice from my boys, "daddy can do it!", and try to relax a little!
