Miss me?

Hey everyone! I am super short on blogging time here lately. So some quick updates.
We are starting to get used to all of this craziness with me working. Can you believe it has been 4 weeks already??? My mother-in-law has been a super help with the baby and the house. God bless her. Miss M is doing so well. She sleeps about 9 hours a night and that is good, as my mornings are starting so early these days. She is getting big. I have now switched her clothes over to the 3-6 month stuff. It is hard to believe. J is doing really well. He is writing and reading in school. It brings tears to my eyes when his teacher shows me his work. I am going to his class Monday to read to his class for Read Across America. He will love it. He got a library card today. He was so excited. He also ended basketball today and got a trophy. He was thrilled. So cute!
BTW- our computer is acting up-has a possible virus so I cannot load our pictures to it, otherwise, I'd post some pics of my kiddos. I will try to get some posted soon, so once we fix the computer.
My grading isn't caught up, but it will get done. The kitchen and bathroom floors need a good scrubbing but I will get to it. I try to spend my evenings with M and J and am trying not to freak out about the house. They are only little once, right?
March is a long month. I don't have any days off but I might take one. In April I have spring break. We are going to stay home but travel to an Outlet Mall and stay overnight in the middle of the week off. It will be nice to get away.
Anyhow, I better get to bed. Hope you all are doing well!

HEy y'all

I have now survived 3 weeks back to work. How? I am not sure. I have been very lucky this week as Little M is sleeping about 8 hour nights. She is waking up around 4, which makes my day super long, but my nights have been uninterrupted. Last night she slept almost 10 hours. THANK GOD ABOVE!!!! I am extremely overwhelmed with housework, mainly laundry that needs to be folded and put away, but sleep is important too, so I opt to go to bed instead of staying up for 2 hours to do laundry.
Anyhow, everything else is ok. We are all well, thank goodness. We seem to be forming our new "reality" of mom being back at work. I just hope the juggling of housework, school work and everything else works out soon.

Still alive....

I am still alive....I have had NO time to blog.......work is kicking my butt and when I get home, I'd rather hang with my kiddos than blog......Just know that all is well, and we are all surviving. I am tired, but going back was a pretty smooth transition. More later!

(BTW- It is 2 AM. I have been up since one...baby was hungry and then J got a bloody nose. Good times.....5 Am is coming up quickly so I better get my rear back in bed!)

Snow Day

The Alleluia Chorus was running through my mind as I saw that schools were closed for snow today. What a blessing. The snow is beautiful and no matter what stress I am feeling, I watch the snow fall and feel peaceful. Of course, when it gets dirty and slushy, the feeling is lost, but those times when the snow is lightly falling and the world is quiet and the trees are covered- I just LOVE IT!!!
We are waiting for the heating guy to come. Something i wrong with our outside unit (only 2 years old) so the guy that installed it is coming out. Pray that it is something small.



I am going to go open the blinds and watch- the babe is asleep and for the next few minutes, my world is peaceful.

Back to work

I have to go back to work tomorrow. Reality bites. I knew this day would come, just not so quickly. I know M will be in the best hands, her dad's and g-mom's, but mine are better! I am anxious over being able to juggle everything and work. Luckily, summer is coming in a few months. Pray for me- tomorrow is going to be hard. It will be nice to be a teacher again, see the kids. I do miss seeing my friends and it will be great to be around them again. I am going to try to be positive- I am grateful that I have a job, when so many do not. It will just be tough, leaving my little girlfriend.

More pics

Big Brother J loves his sister. He is here giving her a "nose kiss". I will have to show him this in a few years when they are fighting. :)
Finally, J and Paul demolished the gingerbread house. They pretended to be eating big chunks of it.

Sweet Miss M in her pink bear suit from Aunt Julie. Isn't she precious?????

Look who found her reflection?

Here are my beautiful babies. Makes a momma's heart melt. :)

J decided to have a beach party inside the other day when it was freezing out. He even made the sun. He is very imaginative and makes things out of paper.

The GI Virus has hit my house. It is so nasty. J had it Thursday, Paul has it now. I am Clorox-wiping, hot-water- washing and Lysol-ing everything. Please pray that me and Little Miss M avoid this horrid sickness. I HATE cleaning up bodily fluids. I cannot stop gagging. ew......
