First week back

I worked my first week. I sold my first car. I had my ups and downs. I missed my babies. Of course. At the same time, I missed them. Which was great, I really loved getting to pick them up at the sitters.

Picking up my boys is great, I love seeing their little faces and holding them after a day away.

As horrible as it sounds I really like missing them. It's nice. It makes being up at night a little easier when I haven't been with fussy pants all day.

Getting a routine down will be key, I need to work on this. I have to look professional when I get to work. Some how my boys have managed to poop as soon as I'm getting them in the car. That means I have to run them into the house, change them and back to the car. Usually this makes me stressed and feel like I'm running late.

We just have some kinks to work on. But over all after my first week, I'm excited to go back after my "weekend" my work week looks like Wednesday-Sunday.

Also I'm tired and my feet hurt, so I'm going to go hit the sack. Night y'all

First day back...

Today was my first day back at work. I took the boys early to their new in home day care "just in case" they did awesome. I did...fine. I was sad as I drove away. I was leaving my most prized possessions in the care of some one I met with for an hour the week before.

I stopped off at Starbucks because its always do hard to do with the kids. It was a nice way to snap myself out of being sad.

Once at work I did the training videos and learned all about sexual harassment and discrimination.

I'm very excited for what this new adventure is going to bring. It's going to be a really good opportunity for myself and my family.

Silence usually means changes

That's how it goes over here on my blog. If I'm radio silent it means a big change is coming.

The big change is not another baby, thank god we are getting the factory shut down. The boys are amazing and perfect and really we don't want to rock the boat. Oliver still isn't sleeping great and Carson isn't potty trained.

The big change is I got a job. A good job in fact. The choice was not made lightly, Chris' job has been on the chopping block for a while. It's scary to look at our Rent and bills and know that with out his income we'd be screwed. We realistically could not afford to live on unemployment and it would be a lot of stress if/when his site closes. It's looking up now, but you just don't know and it was a wake up call that we honestly need a second income.

I found the boys a daycare. They'll be there 3 days a week and Chris will be home on the weekends and I'll be home Monday/Tuesday. I'm nervous to leave them, it will be a big adjustment. But I'm excited this will bring a lot of good things for my family. Like searching for a new home in 3-4 years. We'll actually be able to save a decent down payment. We'll be able to go on real vacations, and put money away for a rainy day. I'm most excited about house hunting. Getting an idea of what we will be able to buy. I have not allowed myself to even look at real estate for the last couple years because we just were not ready, and while it will take a few years to save a solid down payment. It will be great to be moving forward!

So yeah, there it is. Also my computer is broken so I tapped this out on my trusty iPhone. Excuse any and all typos and sad grammar.
