The Work Week

This was my first week back to work and as much as I love both of my children I was excited to get back! I enjoy having a routine and schedule and I also needed some time out of the house with other adults and tasks that didn't involve feeding or diapers!
In order to get to work on time I have to get up at 5:15am to get ready and then feed Tanner. With him going to bed around 10:30pm and getting up around 3:00am and then 6:00am, making myself get up so early and actually get in the shower is difficult but I managed to do it everyday this week. I'm out the door by 6:30am and on the road with a large cup of coffee beside me! School starts at 7:50am and all of my students were very excited to see me return. I got lots of welcome backs and it was really nice to see everyone. We're reviewing for exams and finishing everything up for the year so I have been able to chat with my students and find out how everything went while I was gone.
Each day it has been harder and harder to get up. Noah hasn't been home before 10:30pm any evening this week so I feel like I still have a whole days work to do once I get home, but we're working on our routine and we've done pretty well. Izabel gets a little cranky in the evenings which is difficult when I'm by myself and I'm trying to feed Tanner and give them both a bath but I am blessed with two very good children and they've helped me make it through this week successfully. I am happy to see the weekend and I am praying for a little bit of extra sleep but who knows what will end up happening! Next week is exams and graduation and then I am off work for 6 weeks. By the time I get back in August I should have a really good routine down and Tanner should be sleeping longer at night, so things will be much easier! I hope everyone had a great work week and has a restful weekend!
