The school year is now in full swing, the girls have had their first full weeks of school as well as their first school holiday off (thank you Labor Day). I have had my first week back at work in over 7 years... 7 YEARS!!! Granted it's very limited part time, but it's been an adjustment for the kids and I. Last week, because my hubby was out traveling, it meant getting up a little earlier so I could get myself up and work ready, 3 snacks/lunches for the kids, all 3 dressed and out the door and attempted to get out a tad earlier than normal. A tad earlier only worked 2 out of the 5 days, but hey... I'll take it. They girls made it to school all five days on time and I got to work just fine. I'll call it a success.
I'm working as a preschool music teacher for a local church's preschool program. I'm excited about the opportunity, glad to be using my musical talent again and while sucking it up for one year for childcare... Corinne will get to go there next year as a 2 year old (four days a week) for half the cost of a 2-day program. Can't beat that, right? I love the fact that the preschool has enough fore thought to even have a separate music program, and the kids.... LOVE IT! I had my first group of kids yesterday and today and what a boost in ego, I'm like a rock star to them. Wait till I wow them with my awesome flutist ability (yeah, right... ha, ha).
There has been some adjustments, a lot of my 'free' time is gone. The time I used to go the store, pick-up this or that without 3 kids is no more. I just have to be more efficient with the time I do have, which is fine. Though I miss the down time... I hate to whine, but I do find my temper a bit shorter. I need to work on that, work on finding an outlet within the time I do have to de-stress and/or not feel the pressure of the kids. But I think no matter, work or not, that seems to be the key to moms in general....
