I wish I felt like this.....
But instead I feel like this!
I have been back at work doing new teacher training. I am so excited to be in the same district as Charli's cousins and also excited to be at the school I am at!
On the flip side, going back to work brings a whole new gamut of emotions.
I feel like I miss out on so much during the day, my mom sends me pictures and I get a few minutes to glance at them and realize how much bigger my babies look each day. I come home and feel like I have been gone an eternity.
Working mommas have a whole different outlook on the day in general. Here is a sample of what my day looks like modified to next week when I have to be at school at 7:15am! So early!!!
Wake-up, Shower
Start Coffee, Shakeology in the blender, heat up two bottles, make Charli's milk and set out her vitamins.
Wake up twins (they are usually stirring and ready to eat) and feed bottles.
Finish getting ready, pack lunches, start dishwasher and kiss all my babies goodbye. Thanking my mom for being there, and getting in my car and choking back the tears that I have to leave my babies.
Drive to work and pray and talk with God, thanking him for blessing us with so many wonderful blessings!!!
Morning Duty-So early!
School Day- Hoping that the girls are okay :)
Leave school if I don't have a committee meeting or faculty meeting.
Arrive home, ask my mom how the day went and send her home to get much needed rest after taking care of 3 little ones all day, then I spend time with the babies, and Charli.
Start Dinner
Troy gets home then we eat dinner, spend some family time together, and the bedtime routine begins!!!
Get bath started for Charli, proceed to bathe each twin one after the other. Finish Charli's bath.
Next, is to lotion the girls up, and put on jam-jams, and give Charli milk, and feed babies bottles.
Put twins down to bed, and then lay Charli down(don't forget the Three Puppies story!).
Work Out-Currently doing Insanity and thinking I am INSANE for trying that workout first. But, I am seeing results! I am excited about being a BeachBody coach and helping other mommas lose their baby weight! It motivates me to workout and get healthy!
I will be posting before and after pics soon!
Cool down from workout, load the dishwasher, and then either work on Work or Grad school for a minute, or pass out from exhaustion and go to sleep.
I'm going 100mph and don't know how I am doing it. The only thing that is helping me besides the good Lord Himself! To do it all without going crazy is the strong support I have from family, and I also think exercising and Shakeology has truly been helping me to have energy and not get winded simply just giving my girls baths!
I don't even know how I am going to do this once Grad School starts on Saturday!!!!
I will truly feel like I am treading water and someone is trying to push me under. I just hope and pray God will give me the strength to get through.
And like my new best friend Shaun T. says "Power Through!" and "Dig Deeper!" I just have to dig deep and find the strength to make it through. I know it is going to be tough.
I hope my girls are proud of me one day when they read this.
