Back to life... back to reality...


Well I am finally done with the 6 week training and I am so so so glad. I cannot imagine how hard it was on my husband (OK, well I can a little cause he told me ha ha) but he pulled through like a champ and the kids didn't miss a beat. I am thankful I never had to go more than 5 days without seeing them and both girls really took it well.

I did surprise myself on the last day however.

I cried when all of my classmates and I parted. WHAT?
Yes... I truly was shocked as I, more than anyone, was ready to get home.

I called my mother stunned ( as I actually felt a little guilty) and she compared it to getting thrown on a desert island with no family or friends and being forced to survive. And no matter how much you don't want to be there... creating bonds is an instinct.
So that we did.
I will miss all my classmates, but my cube mate little Anthony "Jersey" the most. I don't even spend that much time with my husband... I mean we were eating every meal together, sleeping in the same hotel every night, rode in the same cars and worked in the same windowless room. Intense is not even able to describe it. And no worries to all those questioning my intentions... he was 100% playing on the other side of the field (GAY in other words lol)....

Either way, it's done and over and an adjustment has to be made. I am going from a go-go-go-fly-fly-fly atmosphere to a pace where I haven't left the house in the 3 days since I've been home.

3 days is not quite fair either... as I came home to 2 poor sick little girls and a sick husband. We spent all day Sunday in the ped-ER and Kiki has a double ear infection and a sinus infection. Sweet thing had to get 2 shots of antibiotics in her leg...
And I had to call into my first day on the job.. (happy to do so of course as Mommy duty comes first)....
Addison and Thomas had the cold too but luckily don't have the intense infection Kirstynn has. Oh - did I mention my mother has it too??? Madness...

Either way, girls are growing... work is nuts and I love EVERY second...

Did I mention Thomas said he wants rugrat #3 Saturday morning and got Addison on board too?
YEAH RIGHT! This preggo train has left the building.. lolol
