Dinnertime at the Pouche's.
Tuesday marked my first day back to teaching the world of second graders! I forgot how these little 7 and 8 year olds ask five million questions and need lots of attention! I guess I am lucky so many people want to be around me :)
I was running on caffeine and adrenaline(sp)????
Note: Hey, I teach second grade and they don't know what that word means. By the way I know I have many grammar errors in my blog. I am not looking to publish book.
Anyway, I enjoyed my time back at school! I missed the kids and my friends! But, the no sleep part really sucks! I feel like I am on time limits: 20 minutes to get a writing assignment done, 1 hour to plan or make phone calls, emails. Be home before the kids and Ash so I can clean or make dinner. Timing baby's feeding schedule. Getting M.C. down before 8:30 p.m. Timing my sleep right so I have at least 6 hours. It's a lot of work!
I am beginning to understand that parents really are exhuasted! I was non-stop from 5:45 am to 10:00pm. My downtime is the few minutes I have before Mikey wakes up or while the clothes are in the washer and dryer.
Also, I am never going to judge another parent again. I have made so many mistakes during the little life of both of my two children. I am that parent whose child is screaming or biting in the store. (M.C.) I know I've been trying to teach her how to behave. Like the book: Happiest Toddler on the Block says M.C. is a cavewoman! I've also been more relaxed about Mikey which I am hoping won't hurt him in the long run. (Bought generic formula)
All in all, life is getting better everyday. Mikey is really a good baby. We got lucky with two great babes!
Tomorrow maybe another story but for now we're good!
