Things are a little crazy around here at the moment.
Soldier was home for a mid course break for the weekend.
The Boy is teething and generally in a bad mood, hitting the cat, his sister, the toys, you get the picture.
Noo is very clingly and missing her Daddy. Sometimes I think it is easier on everyone if Soldier doesn't come home mid course. We just get used to the new normal without him around all the time and then he comes home. Then when he leaves again we have to go through it all again.
The dog has returned from a week of roaming the streets and a few days at the pound. He now has kennel cough and is generally miserable.
The cat has decided that the time is right to start adding to the chaos by clawing at the furniture and the screen doors.
I think I am the only sane being around here at the moment. Let's see how long that lasts.
On a brighter note, I am nearly done with the first Green Goddess sock and loving it. Such a great pattern. Without Soldier around I have hours of uninterupted knitting time on the couch after the kids go to bed. So it should be done in the next few days.
Hopefully, I will eventually get back on track with the Personal Sock Club.

god those socks look so good!
My first husband worked on a marine geology ship and was gone for six weeks, home for six weeks. I found that after the initial joy of him coming home wore off (like in about 24 hours! Hence being my ex husband...) it was very disruptive to be getting used to the change in routine again. I can only imagine that a very short return home is even more disruptive and moreso with kids!
Oh that does sound crazy - hope you and the beautiful sock keep the sanity going
:o)
I use to ask Mr Hausfrau when he came back from exercise or wherever..."who are you living in my house?". Cos, despite my excitement at his return, it just kinda felt weird...I feel your pain!
