Back to normal

(Where normal = fighting with boys to get moving and up and dressed; to finish homework, do their chores and go to bed on time)

The boys went back to school today.  While I really did enjoy being home with them last week, it was definitely time to get me back to work and get them back to their classrooms.

I was able to go to work and get a bunch of things accomplished! It was just the break I needed to get back at it. I do miss sleeping in already, though. This week I have to get all of my papers organized (pulling last year, making room for this year) and finish up my year-end paperwork. Fun!

The boys were both pretty tired by the time it was time to go to bed, so that was nice.  The funniest part is that they only have 4 days this week and 4 days next week and then they have 2 half-days and a day off the following week!! Tough life for these kids!!

Mike has been doing really well with eating right and exercising. I haven’t jumped in with both feet yet – I’m making small changes: first goal has been successful : 3-4 of my large cold cups of water each day and avoiding fast food. I’m also watching my food intake, but not being crazy about it. Adding exercise in when I can as well. So far so good, but not calling it a resolution!

Nothing much to say I guess, just wanted to post since I was playing around with the design here again. 🙂
