well

I am on day two of being a single Mom and I have to say that I am loving it. It is so much fun as of right now. That isn't to say that we are not missing John like crazy cakes but it is so quiet and peaceful ;-) What does that tell you?!?!?! I'm just saying.

WHOO HOOO

I am not saying that I don't enjoy my job at all but I have to tell you....getting the pay check every two weeks really helps make the days a little nicer.

John leaves in t-minus 3 days and I have to tell you....with the nerves that he has, I can't wait. He has been just miserable to be around (er, more so than usual :-) ehhe) For a man that hates to fly, a 10.5 hour flight over the ocean isn't exactly something that he is looking forward to....and guess who is getting the attitude for it....ding ding ding...I know you said me and YOU WOULD BE RIGHT! I will be sad though. I know it.

Work

So, I had my first full week of school last week. It is going quite well. I feel like my days are just flying by. I leave or work at 715 just barely saying goodbye to my kids. Feeling a little mommy guilt about that. John is doing an awesome job getting the kids off to school in the morning. I am sure it is nothing that a little counseling won't fix later on!

I have a daily schedule that I try to follow. I have some kids that are great and "wicked" smart. I have one little girl that barely speaks to me and then I have a couple kids that, dang, they have a lot of energy.

My kids get out of school and I get home with them. Then the homework begins, the swim lessons, the tumbling class yadda yadda yadda.

Then on top of that, I have to make lunches for the next day, keep up with the laundry, grocery shop, keep the house clean, along with staying sane and then I pass out at 10pm.

All to get up and do it all again!

I get paid on Wednesday....so I am sure I will love my job then ;-)

Oy vey

T minus 6 days.

I makes me laugh that John is headed for the holy land. Israel and Jerusalem.

I know today I am so excited about his upcoming departure. After cleaning out the garage with my non-breakfast eating husband I heard enough whine from a grown man to last me a lifetime.

Good news is that I can now park my car in there.....
Bad news (if you can call it that) I think the really hot weather is done.

Life as I knew it is over.

I have never been a working mom. After these past two weeks I can attest to that. I am not saying that taking care of 6+2 snotty/wonderful/PITB kids isn't hard work but trying to get all I need to get done in the day is impossible. I am going to see if I can blog on my phone so that I will be able to do this at work to keep you up to date. Stay tuned.
