So how hard is this????

Spouseman and I work together.  In fact, Spouseman is my boss as the rector/sr pastor of the parish we serve.  Today, he began a 3 month sabbatical.  The first after more than 11 years with the parish.  He hugely needs to get a complete break.  I will be super busy, dealing probably with more than the usual.  So I cannot come home and talk about work.  AAAARGH!  I know I can do it.  Just hard and wierd to think about.  A friend did give me one suggestion: imagine work is a jacket.  Imagine there's a hook on by the front door (on the outside).  Leave the jacket on the door when you come in.  That's what I'm going to do...

I can see how this would be a challenge. i try very hard to NOT talk about work at home. I think of it as turning off a light switch. However, my spouse and I have VERY different jobs also!

or like the Asians where you take your shoes off at the doorway.

I hope it will end up giving you a kind of break, too!
