Back to Normal

The Brotherhood is open again today and I won’t lie, I’m pretty sad about it.

I’m glad that I’ll have another awesome option for dinner, but I’m also sad that Chris is back to work, for several reasons:

Yes, he is THAT amazing.  I don’t know how you people who didn’t marry chefs survive.

It’s more than that, though.  It was so wonderful to have him at home — he did an unbelievable amount of work on his vacation (the three C’s — childcare, cooking, and cleaning) so that I could have a vacation of sorts, too.  And it was just generally nice to be able to see him for more than a few waking hours each day.  I know Nora loved having her Dada home and I really did too.  We had a slow easing back to normal this week; he was at the restaurant getting ready during the days and home in the evenings, but today it’s back to normal and I’m sad.
