Where have you been?

I am here...I have had a couple of people ask if I am around because it seems my blog is frozen in time! :) I don't mean to ignore it, but this "working mom" stuff is not easy! It has been two weeks now, and it is definitely hard to balance...and my sleep anxiety this week has been evident to that! I thought I could catch up on my sleep this weekend, but to no avail. C had a 103 temp all night, and kept us up...then Abs decided to start screaming she was scared at 5:20...and I haven't slept since. Maybe tonight...

Other than sleep issues, I have actually really enjoyed being back on my game. The reason why I chose teaching in the first place is that it fits my personality perfectly. I knew I had been missing it for quite awhile, but I really have felt in my element this past week. It has been nice to work my brain, and I love "getting things done". Because I knew time was crunched, I spent all day yesterday doing laundry and cleaning...so my entire house is clean at once. This would not have happened even two weeks ago. I use to just clean one or two things a day...so it was never "dirty" but it never was all cleaned at once. It is one of the best feelings to me...to have all my work done for the week (okay, well most done), and to have my "house" work done...ahhhhh....maybe tonight, I will sleep a full eight hours!
