Funny, Monday mornings are often my low point. I used to love them because everyone went to school or work and I was left alone. Now I just feel abandoned then. Luckily I have a regular aerobics class I can go to first thing Monday now to escape the house. Maybe you could institute a new coming home routine, like playing loud music and having a kitchen disco with the kids while you cook dinner or something? But yes, if that's a low point then best to avoid home tomorrow, I agree. I hope he and eldest get on ok, you might be pleasantly surprised...
