last night was my 3rd shift back to work since having eli. it's been going ok. it was very hard to leave the first night, but it's getting better. i know the kids are in good hands with mike.
it's interesting, though. mike parents and maintains the house waaaaay differently than i do.
right now, for instance, sariah's pant are on backwards. calah is wearing a shirt that is about 5 sizes too big, a skirt that is bordering on too small, and toe socks with flip flops.
we missed dance class on thursday because we were both too tired to cook, and dinner out took too long. (that was a whole other disaster). today, piano lessons got completely forgotten, until 50 minutes after we were supposed to be there.
the girls have been watching a little more t.v. than i would normally let them, and eating goodness-knows-what.
the house is also...less clean. i made a list of everything that needs to be done every day, but mike has less success multi-tasking than i usually do. the carpet did get vacuumed, though, and that is good for my mental health. (we have dark carpets, so EVERYTHING shows up, and that makes me somewhat nutty).
all in all, it's going well. i'm tired. a little more crabby. my filter doesn't work as well as it should (the filter that keeps words in my brain that shouldn't come out). no one has died or gotten killed. everyone is wearing clothes. and mostly, the kids are enjoying spending alot of time with their daddy. he's a pretty awesome daddy.
