A pipe breaks at work which causes a flood throughout the Hokage tower. Now, Naruto has no choice but to work from home. It doesn't help that Sakura has to pick up more hours at work just as this inconvenience came up. In just three hours, he went f...
Dear diary...or should I say journal? Sakura says diary. Journal? Diary? Oh well, I'll figure it out later.
This past week has been...trial and error for me. I got little paperwork done because I was preoccupied with chaos! Hanami was mad at me for a good two days, I learned that I suck at cooking, I'm an amazing pillow, and Shikamaru is a hair guru.
See, Sakura didn't tell me about things like this! I thought I knew it all because hello, I help make three kids but...being away for so long made me forget a few things I guess. It took me the longest to figure out how to undo my mess...and learn some new tricks.
I guess I'll start off slow? A lot things did happen and...a lot of teachable moments happened.
See, it all started on Monday with the eggs... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Monday
"Come say bye to your mother! I yell through the house. "And here is your lunch box." I handed her the blue bag on the counter.

'A Househusband..how troublesome'
Right, a househusband! I don't know what to expect but I will admit, I'm a little excited to spend time with the kids. Besides, if Sakura can do this, I know I can!
"You're just going to keep standing there or are you going to kiss your wife goodbye." Sakura suddenly appeared in front of me.
I cut away from my thoughts flustered and kissed her on both cheeks and forehead. "S-Sorry, just a little-"
"Nervous?"
Can this woman read my thoughts?
"What? Read your mind?" she joked.
Maybe she can.
"Listen," she put my hands in hers and smiled warmly at me. I could feel my shoulders relax a little. "It may be a little hard trying to do work and getting used to this arrangement but you can do it. You just have to find your balance! Once you do that, it'll be a breeze. And besides, you have this," Sakura raised up the journal she gave me yesterday. "This is going to be your best friend. Use it."
"I will, don't worry!" we embraced and kissed one last time before she went off to work. "I love you."

"I love you too. And...try to survive, okay?"
As Sakura closed the door, it became very real very quickly that I am officially alone. I looked down at the kids minus Arasgi who was currently obsessed with the kitchen counter.
"So... Who wants breakfast!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I thought you are supposed to be at work?" I heard my son say from behind.
