Back to Work
Today was the day that I was dreading.....back to work. Luckily there were no kids, just teacher planning. Thank God that I had today to prepare for the rest of the week. I apparently did nothing the Friday before break because my room was a wreck! This is the FIRST time that I wanted to stay home and be a stay at home mommy. I never felt like that would be a good choice for me because I liked getting out of the house and having interaction with people, but for some reason the past two weeks have been different. I've actually loved keeping the house clean, playing with Little man, cooking, and just hanging out. Don't get me wrong I was busy, busy with a To Do list and everything, but life seemed so relaxed.
Not only did I start back to work today, but I also started my master's degree. I have two classes this semester and they are both going to be pretty intense. My whole program is online, however, it is through the university where I did my undergrad, so at least I'm familiar with the university and the systems. I'm already feeling tired and stressed out. It's amazing that I didn't even feel like I "needed" coffee the past two weeks. I got 8 hours of sleep most every night, kept very busy during the day, and felt great the whole time. I'm hoping that when we move back to MI that I can take some time off and do the stay at home mommy/master's student thing for awhile.
I have to go pick up Little man from daycare. I usually take some time to get some things done before I go get him so I can devote my time to him when we get home.

Hi I came over here from a comment you left on Alyssa's blog! I am so in awe of Mom's like you - who go to school and be a Mom. And you work full time on top of it all! I am a stay at home Mom and I LOVE it but sometimes I wish there was more to define me, something my kids could learn from that took discipline to do. Any way I think it's awesome that you take time to do stuff before you pick him up from daycare so that you can concentrate on your time with him. I've never looked at it from that perspective and it totally works!
Thanks for your comment, it sure does get stressful though. I was just off for two weeks and I didn't feel the least bit tired or have any anxiety about anything. It's officially been 3 days since I've been back to work and I feel all of those things already! Do you have any good stress relievers?
