update

Life has been extremely busy with this work gig. It's been challenging and new, yet frustrating and tiring. Just when things start rolling along and I bust out the S on my chest and feel like I can have it all...someone gets sick, someone gets a fever, someone pukes, someone needs a parent teacher meeting, someone needs chauffeured at the most inconvenient time of the work day. The family is adjusting to Mom being gone all day and Mom is adjusting to letting some things go and the constant state of tired. I wear 'tired' well, it's my new look.
EG is plowing through her school day like a pro. She is totally loving school. She is excited about going and knows Daddy takes her and Mommy picks her up...with candy=0) She gets a Hershey Kiss at 5:20 every day, except for the days that I've already picked her up due to illness. Ms. E has never been exposed to all these germs and it seems she is not mixing well with the local folk. She's had a constant runny nose, several fevers and a case of the pukes in a 3 week span & after being snotted on for a week, Mommy has had a lovely case of the snots for 2 weeks. I have no idea where my voice went, but it doesn't seem to be in a hurry to return. It's my new 1 (900) voice.

I have managed to make Sunday mornings my time to prepare all dinners for the week. It has certainly helped with time and energy while we adjust to this new schedule.

In other exciting news: My G made the HS golf team. So proud of him. He had never golfed on a GA course and was really unsure of this dormant grass thing, but he rocked it and made it. He is the underdog of the golf team. He does not belong to any country club up here, he hasn't golfed in a year and he's never golfed in GA and we do not pay for him to have private lessons. G is a natural golfer, takes after his Daddy and I'm hoping he qualifies every week.

The kids are on ski break this week and instead of going skiing...I'm working and they are hanging out at home with my fabulous in-laws who came up to help us. I really want & need my in-laws to move to GA...in a bad sort of way...

I hate the constant round of sickness when they start school. Here's wishing you a swift recovery. Have to say, not being American, I mixed up 1(900) and I-600 and thought you had some strange adoption paperwork voice.... then the penny dropped!

Sorry for all the sickness going around, but believe me your not alone!
I LOVE EG's dress!!! May I ask where it came from?

Daisy mom said...

I meant "you're"

Daisy mom, her dress was a hand-me-down from the fabulous Colleen. I'm not sure where she got it. I love it too, it's fun & spunky...just like EG=0)

Congrats on the golf team.. I hear golf scholarships are the way to go with colleges...Good Luck,

How well Eme has adjusted to school (psychologically that is...) is a testament to your awesome efforts in attachment parenting. She started off as such an anxious babe and look at her now! Congrats Tracy!
