One of the benefits of my job is that I do get to set my schedule. When Carter was born I switched my schedule to 8 hours Monday, Wednesday's from 4-8 and 8 hours Saturday's. I did that for the babysitting situation. As they got older I switched to 8 hours on Wednesday's and 4 on Saturday's. That has been working well for several years. However, lately our Saturday's have gotten pretty busy and I was needing to find someone to watch the kids more often than not.
A couple months ago I decided to change my Saturday to Friday. I was nervous and hoped that it would work out, but so far so good. I have spent nearly the past 6 years working at least a half day on Saturday. That meant the Saturday morning cleaning the house routine really hasn't been happening. On the first Saturday that I didn't actually have something else, we had a cleaning day. The boys had a blast because of the novelty of it all. I wonder how long it will be before the complaining begins.
I say don't even wonder how long it'll take... just enjoy it!
