Back to Workie

 I went back to work on Tuesday. The first week of work is boring meetings and teacher work time. I do appreciate that we go back before the students come in. It's nice to start getting used to the schedule and get ready in the classroom. I am not ready but my goal is to survive. I have next week's lessons sort of figured out. I think it will be day to day. I had a busy weekend with doing my house and yard work and preparations for the work week with grocery shopping and meal prepping. I also did quite bit of work this weekend. Overall I'm feeling okay and not as stressed as I thought I would going into the new school year. I do have some experience under my belt now and I've done hard things plenty of times before. I should have taken a picture of my room. It's big but it filled to the brim with STUFF. It makes my skin crawl a bit. Every drawer and cabinet is filled. I'm in the wrong profession as a minimalist. So many random games and toys for child development and tons of kitchen equipment of course and 3 wheelers and car seats and creepy fake babies. It's not my favorite. It makes me want to go organize a closet in my house or something. I have no idea what I will need or use so I'm not even worrying about trying to actually clean out the room and organize it. Luckily most things are hidden and I'll pretend it's not my nightmare waiting in the all the spaces. 

I'm so excited to get my kids back. They have been gone for 2 weeks. Luckily it's gone by fast because I've had a very busy couple of weeks and did a lot of social things as well. I will have them for the next 2 weeks straight and it will be a little chaotic as we all try to adjust to our school routines. The summer went fast!

Pregnancy is going great. I feel really good. It's hard to dress and look cute at this stage where I mostly just look like I had a big lunch. I'm 16 weeks now!

Charly was my buddy all week since the kids couldn't take her to St. George with them. I think she will be very happy when the kids come back tonight as well! 

16 weeks!
