There is NO doubt in my mind when I say this; I/we have been BUSY! Between school, studying, and soccer, I've been sleeping. :-) (Joke!) Actually, I've been trying to spend quality time with my three little princesses, and also some teeny tiny bits of time with my wonderful dear husband. (Who by the way has made an amazing transition from husband and manly man to... well.... Mr. Mom.....) No, seriously... I could not have made it through these last 3 (or has it been 4?) weeks without my amazing and wonderful husband. :-) Thank you for all your support sweetie!!!!!!! Ok... a little off topic... like I said, we have been busy. I try to catch some free moments here and there, and so for I'm doing okay... I think. The school schedule is a little more manageable now than it was when I first started. I just took my first test and did amazingly well (yes, I'm very proud of myself!) I even got a chance to work in the girls Kindergarten class on Friday! Today all three girls had their very first soccer games. Lucy and Ava were so incredibly cute! Ava made a goal, on the wrong side, but still, she made a goal.. Lucy just ran around smiling. :-) Maddie of course played incredibly well! She even scored the very first goal of the season! GO MADDIE!
SOOOOOOOO..... it's ONLY day 2, and I am definitely already feeling the stress of going back to school... I was talking to a friend tonight after Madeline's soccer practice and I realized something, I've only been in school for 2 days! I feel like it's been 2 weeks already! LOL Seriously though, I honestly don't know how I can keep this up! I was in school for 7 1/2 hours Monday, and 7 1/2 hours today, and tomorrow it's another 7 1/2 hours! I suppose what I am feeling and going through is just a normal part of the 'adjustment period', but wow!, I am so very overwhelmed by everything right now. Madeline and Lucy are doing fine... Madeline tells me that that she misses me being home, which absolutely breaks my heart. :-( Lucy is thriving, just like I thought she would. Ava is having a hard time with the new schedule already and I find her getting irritable really easily. Kindergarten isn't very physically stimulating for her, but for Ava, I think the mentally stimulating part is tough. I have no idea how she will be by Friday, but it today was any indication then I do believe it won't be so good. On top of all of this, I just don't know where studying fits in? By the time I get home, I have to cook dinner and spend some (and by saying some, I mean like 1 hour!) time with the kids. Then I need to get them in bed, and after that I am exhausted! 5:00 am rolls around pretty quickly, and I always want/need to spend time with Chris when he is home.
Long story short (especially since I'm probably not making any sense to anyone except myself) it's been a reeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllllly long 2 days. I can't wait to figure out how I am going to juggle all of this and feel like life is somewhat "normal" again!
