Well, it's been awhile blog. Maybe I'll get better at this one day, but I wouldn't hold your breath ;)
Today was day three of my baby girl's 2nd grade year. While I miss her like crazy while she is gone, it is definitely easier to get things done around the house with only two kiddos. Might as well enjoy it, since it's going to last another seven weeks....
So, here is what I learned today:
1. Mornings, are not my friend. Especially the first week of school. We kept Rea in her old school, and so I have a seven mile drive each morning. I left this morning 30 minutes before the tardy bell rings. It took me 10 to get out of my neighborhood, and another five to get past the train. Although, a better start than yesterday, when I had six miles until my gas tank was empty...when I left the house. Oops.
2. While 2.5 hour naps are great for growing baby brains, they are not great for getting anything done around the house.
3. Nolan loves green food. I have him convinced that is how he grows big muscles.
4. Rea wants to be in the Olympics as a swimmer. But if she can't, she wants to tape paper to the bottom of her feet and practice her ice skating in the living room.
5. Cleaned the bathrooms as my one deep clean thing today. My conclusion? Boys are gross.
I have a feeling this will be a season of learning for me. As I learn to navigate how to be a wife, part-time employee, and mother of FOUR (which is crazy), I know God will be working on me big time!
Here's hoping I am better at sharing, so other people can help direct me in this new journey!
