It is now the end of the first real week of my part time work experience. It feels good to get back to work even if only temporarily. I am missing my girls on the days I am not with them and I hope that I get used to that part. The babysitter who is watching the girls is a gem. She is super sweet and has three kids of her own. Her oldest is a big second grader but the other two are 2 and 4. Lauren is having a good time over there and hasn't objected to going once. I am helping to collect data for a research study at ASU and that takes me to three different schools at the moment. My days are filled with video taping teachers and doing a range of assessments with some children and traveling from school to school. It's busy but that is a good thing. Time goes by fast that way.
I am having a difficult time getting everyone ready and out of the house in the mornings though. I know I have to set up routines and I have at least managed to pack lunches the night before to avoid that headache in the morning. It's a whole new ballgame getting myself ready and then get two babies ready at the same time. Not to mention reminding a teenager to brush teeth and get in the shower. It seems like I am literally running around in the morning and don't stop until everyone is dropped off...I have a few moments to zen in the car.
I know that women do this everyday all over the world so it's not like I am reinventing the wheel here but it's still a little tough to get used to. Thank goodness I am still home 4 days...until the new school year rolls around when I will most likely be full time again...will I even have time to blog about it???
Have a great weekend everyone!
