So, Monday was the first day of 1st grade for Brylee. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I didn't breakdown or anything, but I think it was harder this time than it was for Kindergarten. Now she goes all day. She has the a.m. time, so we have to get up at 7:00, which is really early for me. It's kind of nice though once I am up, I get a lot more done. Nate takes her in the morning on the way to work and then I go pick her up which works out great. She had a great first day. I asked her what she had for lunch and she said, "a cookie, an apple and some chocolate milk, but I had a sandwich that I couldn't open, so I just threw it away". So, they put the sandwhiches in plastic so the kids can't open them? I asked her why she didn't ask her teacher and she said she had left, then I asked her why she didn't ask a lunch lady and she said they were busy. I thought it was kind of funny. Then I asked her if she had made some friends and she said "Yes, 2 girls asked me if I wanted to be their friend. One of them asked me when we were standing in line for lunch and I said 'yes, that's fine...turn around". hahaha. I was laughing. Uh, you aren't going to make any friends if you act like that. She's like Nate...let's get to business, I'm standing in line for lunch and I'm hungry, so get moving. She cracks me up.
I also dropped my hours with work last week, so now I am only working 15 hours a week. I was so stressed out with trying to help Tyson with his therapy, cleaning, laundry, working 24 hours and making sure Brylee and Karston weren't neglected...it felt like it was neverending. I am trying to work 3 hours M-F when the boys are down for their nap after I pick up Brylee. I love my job and I love working from home, but we really needed a change. It was a huge leap of faith for us because I have always worked at least 24 hours since we have been married. I think that if there is something that is that important to us and we are willing to have faith, the Lord will bless us, and I definetly feel blessed.
