I didn’t start work until Wednesday, December 14th. I wanted to make the best of the first few days of the week. Of course Clint was out of town my first week back, but that was okay because I was able to get into a routine very quickly. Monday, December 12th was Sarah’s first day at daycare. Haines was excited for her to go with him to school and he had to go drop her off with me. It was surprisingly okay, I was sad to leave her but I did not cry. I think it is much easier this time because she is in the same room that Haines was in and sweet Mrs. Claudia is her teacher. Haines was very attached to Mrs. Claudia and we love her!!!
I was able to run errands all day and get some last minute Christmas shopping done as well as get things ready for Sarah’s baptism lunch that coming Saturday. I had a very busy but productive day! It was strange running errands by myself because I did not have my little buddy with me. I was so used to toting Sarah and her carrier around with me, I really missed her. I ended up picking them up early from school that day. I had two extra gingerbread houses and invited our neighbors David and Becca over to decorate them and make cookies. Haines was super excited because he loves them so very much!
They had a great time decorating their houses, making cookies and drinking homemade hot chocolate. They are so sweet to Haines, we just appreciate and love them so much!
The next day was Tuesday and this was my last day before I went back to work. I dropped both of the kids off and went to the galleria to find a dress to wear for the baptism. Next, I had a hair appointment to get a haircut and highlights at 10am. Afterwards, I ate lunch at Savages and picked up some rolls (and of course some sweets) for Sarah’s lunch on Sunday. After running a few other errands I had a massage appointment at 2:30pm. This was absolutely wonderful and I am already ready to go back. After the massage it was straight to BH for Sarah’s Christmas party. What a way to start school than to have a party on your second day! She had so much fun she fell asleep right in the middle of the party!
Wednesday, was my first day back and I actually made it to work on time. I was actually kind of glad to get the first day back over with because I knew it was coming, it was just a matter of time. My how 12 weeks flew by! My first day back was super easy. My manager, John, took myself and my two peers to lunch at J Alexanders so that was a nice way to start back. When I got back to my desk I got a call from Haines’ teacher and she said that Haines had a bad cough and could not stop coughing. I left work and went to the drug store to get him some cough medicine (btw Delsym is the best stuff out there!) I took it to him and it did the trick. I wanted him to feel better because his Christmas party was that afternoon and he was supposed to do the intro with a few other kids. They said he could not even get his lines out when they practiced because he was coughing so much. I came back to the center around 3:30pm for his party. The theme was the Polar Express and they all got to wear PJs to school, which they all loved. Haines still did not do his intro part as it was a little chaotic with a bunch of 2 year olds trying to put on a production. They did pretty good singing some songs. I was proud of Haines, he did great! They had a book exchange afterwards and they gave us some cute plates that had a footprint made into a snowman on it. It was a busy but good first day!
The rest of the week was fine. My routine is as follows: get up at 5:30am and take a shower and completely get ready, get Haines up at 6am and dress him before he leaves his room, get his banana and milk ready and put on his cartoons, make Sarah’s bottles for that morning and for the day, get her up at 6:30am and change her clothes/diaper before we leave her room, feed her bottle, brush Haines’ teeth and leave for school! Whew!
