We're Baaack

Yeh, um, not all that relaxing to have 2 children under the age of 2 away from their normal routine.  Savanna was crazy whiny and the baby did ok, but she was very very gassy on night - like colicky almost, so I quit using formula and am now strictly breastfeeding.  It's going better, but it sure is convenient to not have to pump your boobs.  I HATE pumping.  HATE IT.  It's just such an odd think to have a machine sucking milk out of your boob, or maybe it isn't I know I just hate it yet I feel guilty if I give up the breast milk this early, so guilt keeps me going.

Savanna had to go to daycare this morning, which makes me sad - and a little happy.  I've been with her every day for over a week and she says "mommmmmmmmy mommmmmmmmy" - it gets me HARD but I'm glad to be at home with just the baby who sleeps mostly.

I came home with a virus bug all day Saturday and now I think the baby has it, she puked this morning and was very grunty like she wasn't happy, but is now soundly asleep IN HER CRIB!

Meeting with high school friends was fun.  It's like we've never spent a day apart.  I had 2 alcoholic beverages, but I was so glad to get back to my kids.  I was so happy to see them, it's weird.  It's like getting out for only 3 hours made me realize how much my life has changed and how happy I am to be where I am today.  We all agreed that we were pretty much idiots in high school, mainly with boys.  I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who felt that way _ I have alot of regrets about high school, so much wasted time on a total dick head, so many tears shed over a complete idiot.  I think it's pretty much standard for most girls, I wish I could figure out how to teach my girls to be smarter with their boy choices.

Boring blog entry, I know - I'm still out of my routine as well.  Starting work in a couple of weeks, and not looking forward to it.  I'm going to miss the baby so much, and you also get out of the work habit, which is probably bad.  I don't want to have to get up on schedule, and take both kids to daycare, and have only an hour for lunch, and try to figure out how to work out, and then get the kids from daycare late in the day, and then try to feed them and then clean up, and then before you know it - it's bedtime and you haven't had any real quality time with your husband or kids - it's just all routine, "have-to" stuff.  Maybe I'm thinking about it the wrong way, maybe I need to come up with some "fun" routine but it's hard to squeeze it into a 3 hour time-frame if you get off work at 5, and put the kids in bed by 8 or 8:30.  It's really like when you work, you only get to spend about 3 hours or less with your kids every day because mornings are all about getting ready to leave again.  Ugh... Thank God for weekends.
