Should have seen it coming...

Momma's got the blues. It's been a while since I've been in a funk so this one caught me quite by surprise. I'm hoping it's just because I'm on my own this week but I feel like there's more to it than that.

I'm surprised to say it but I'm ready for the kids to go back to school. We haven't had a routine for a week and a half and it's definitely taking it's toll on the household. The kids are bickering ALL THE TIME. It's really more than bickering, but that's the nice way to put it. Kyle has started throwing fits more often so he's been hanging out on the stairs quite a bit more lately. Twice this morning already.

Next week things should pick up a bit more. Katie will be staying with Nana for a few nights while she's attending Art Camp at Epiphany. And I will be heading back to work on the 11th. That's the only day I'm scheduled to work next week but I will probably go in more than that just to get the lay of the land in my new classroom.

Couldn't handle moping around anymore today so I called up a friend and we are heading to lunch. So glad to be getting out of the house.

Oh, I can SOOOO relate to this post! My kids are doing the same thing. And so naughty. It's as if they just wake up and think "I'm going to be as naughty as possible today." I'm REALLY hoping that school starting brings a fresh breath of change into our home and they stop fighting so much. It wears you down, doesn't it? Praying for you, friend.
