Back to Work...Back to Reality

Today I started back to school, and it feels like I have been hit with a ton of bricks! I am just not ready for the daily grind of having 4 kids and working full time. I hate to complain, but I have just forgotten how hard it is. It all started at 6:00 am (yuk) when my alarm went off, by 6:30 both girls were up! Caden called me constantly throughout the day to report things that the little ones had done, and I decided to clean out my shelves and file cabinets in my classroom, and now my classroom looks like a tornado hit it...one of my workdays wasted. I got home this afternoon and no one had gone down for a nap, Slick (the dog) peed on the beanbag, and Cade had his first day of football practice (for 2 hours...he practices every day this week!) On top of everything else I missed being with the kids today!
Again, I feel like such a loser to rant and rave about how hard my day was, but that is what is on my mind, and blogging about it is therapeutic for me. : )

Another thing that seemed to be therapeutic for me this evening was giving my sweet angel fishies (is it weird that I call them that?) a bath. Their little faces had not been washed yet, hence the dirty faces!
