[QUOTE="Fran, post: 262209, member: 3"] GG, congratulations for getting a job you were interested in at such a tough time in the economy. :applause: The women I know who went back to work after being a stay at home mom, seemed to try to do all of it and eventually figured out that the had to become delegaters. Although you had a traditional arrangement previously, it is obvious that isn't the case any longer. Make up a calendar and chore list. Hubby will now need to step up. I'm strange about laundry. I prefer to do my own. Always have been this way. Grocery shopping on line has helped me a great deal and it cuts down on impulse buying. There are some wonderful family meals in our deli case at the market. It's a good thing to fall back on when life is spinning out of control. If you plan a menu, husband can grocery shop. Alternate days when one cooks or the other so he isn't too "put upon".:beautifulthing: Cleaning and men seem to be at odds. They don't see dirt or clutter quite like we do. I would be pretty specific with the chore list during the day. The other thing is adapt to the changes. Life isn't going to run as smoothly as it did when you were home more. The floor isn't going to be so clean or the meals so homemade but it works. No one can do it all. I forgot this was about quickie suppers. Sorry. There are some simple cook books that have meals ready in half an hour. I think the secret is the prep work. If things are chopped and ready then dinner prep will go faster. Good luck and congratulations on opening a new chapter in your life. Sorry to have lost my focus on your question. [/QUOTE]
