A little about my day

Today was the first real day of school.  After yesterday's run through with the freshmen I was left thinking 'Why did I decide to do this again?!?'  However, today went much more smoothly and I remembered that the kids CAN be awesome.  There was a group of boys in one hour that were causing all sorts of problems and I remembered the beginning of the year last year and a group of girls who were so proud that they had made a teacher cry in elementary.  That group of girls became some of my favorite students.  I just have to remember that the first impression isn't always the right one, for better or worse.

The transition for me and the kids into the school routine again hasn't been too rough.  It has been a week and the kids are still struggling to get up in the morning, I, of course, am doing GREAT waking up at 5:30 everyday (heavy on the sarcasm).  Ryden is getting crabby as the days go on and he gets farther behind on sleep.

I will say that not having to pump during the day is making things SO much easier.  Not having to wash the bottles and pump parts every day before making supper is awesome too.  Leaving the house in the morning without having to get bottles is another bonus.  All around, extremely happy that the pumping phase is over even though we're still breastfeeding.

Crossing my fingers for a good year!
