And We're Off...!

Started work today...just a half day. I was up too early, around 4:30, because I was worried that I wouldn't hear my alarm clock, or that it wouldn't go off, or something of that nature...so I was up, sort of. Drifted in and out of a light slumber I suppose until 6:00. Got up, showered and got ready, and my lovely little children, who usually wake ME up around 6:30 or so, were not even close to waking up at 7:15!!! Mind you, we need to be out the door by 7:30. So of course I had to wake them up, which is just about all of our least favorite thing to do! Grumpy, whiney children. That's what I dropped off at the daycare. Nice, huh? At least I didn't have to deal with them though!!!!

Alex wouldn't let go of my leg, and Ellie was screaming as I handed her off to Miss Teresa, one of my favorites. We gave the ol' daycare a test drive last week, and it went as well as could be expected. So at least we all kind of knew the teachers today. That helped. Alex didn't cry at all while I was gone, and had a lot of fun. Ellie didn't fare so well. She didn't really eat, didn't really play, just kind of hung out and/or cried :-( But I'm sure she'll come to enjoy it...soon I hope!

So back to work was nice, but a little boring. Naturally, as I expected, they didn't have a computer or a chair for me to sit in (this is simply how they have always been, unprepared!), and I arrived there approx. an hour before my boss got there. I did have the trusty ol' pile of paperwork to fill out. That helped pass the time. And here I sit, waiting for software to load on my computer so I can work from home. My boss had something he wanted me to get done today. Glad I only was supposed to work half a day! Oh well, I'm logging my time. At least I'm getting paid!

Talk soon,
Lisa
