Part-time Trophy Wife

I don't know if I mentioned this, but my new job is only four days a week... with a full month off every summer.

I still can't quite comprehend what life will be like without a five day work week. I will have a three day weekend, every weekend. I will have time to do homework while Jon is at work. I can go grocery shopping during the day when the only people in the store are stay-at-home parents with their young kids, and senior citizens (and perhaps the occasional trophy wife.) I can take a yoga class at the gym.  I can go to the DOL without taking time off work. I can make it to the Post Office before it closes! And in the winter, I can be home while it's light outside.

There is a whole world of people who do what they want during the weekdays, and I get to join them, even if it's only for one day a week. I am unbelievably excited. And of course, Jon is insanely jealous.
