Back to school...

This past week has been one crazy week to say the least. Last week I was given the opportunity to return to my old school which I was very excited to accept. This past year I have talked to Derek several times about how much I miss teaching and now with Madelyn I realize how teaching it the most ideal schedule for a working mom. Of course with her being born in June this was not the summer to try and get back into it and I thought maybe next year I will try. However, the school I used to teach at had high numbers in Third Grade and wanted to bring in another teacher to lower the class sizes. Talk about meant to be. They called last Thursday and I started today. Though as much as we were thrilled that it worked out it made a very crazy household. We had to rethink our daycare plans. Originally as we had said Madeyln would go with Derek to the Y daycare. However Derek works south of our house and I will now work North. Therefore, it doesn't make sense for her to go there anymore as it would take me almost an hour to get there from work. So now we are in the process of finding care right near my school.

Of course as with all first time moms it has been really hard to go from spending every moment of everyday with Madelyn to the transition back to work and being away from her. I have had several break downs of crying to poor Derek. I know it will get easier and am so happy I know will get breaks and summers with her :)

Derek and I have been going crazy trying to adjust to everything. It seems when we used to be able to get ready in 45 minutes for work now takes like 2 hours with Maddie. I have also realized how much I will have to tote with me every morning. Anyone who is a teacher knows how much you already take to and from school and now I will also have; Maddie's daycare bag, her cooler of bottles, my pump bag, my cooler for milk storage and a baby, lol!! I should have strong arms here soon! Sorry this is a short post and promise to updater again soon.
