A new year.... and back to work. This sucks. I hate getting up early, and its not fun getting 2 grumpy kids ready to go in the morning. I guess its just going to be a matter of time before we get into a bit of a routine, and get used to this again.

On the bright side - Chris loves being at the sitters place! I thought that he would cry and scream for the first 2 or 3 or 4 months (I was trying to be realistic!), but he only whimpered for a few minutes then went and played! And believe it or not, he even napped no problem for the sitter. No crying, fussing or whining whatsoever! I have no idea how she does it, but it probably involves a lot of duct tape :) Joey also loved being back at the centre, and now that he's in the big boy room they go for trips and have tons of fun! Today they walked to the river and tomorrow they go to a music store to play the drums and the guitars.... glad I'm not a parent volunteer on that one :)

Work is work, and I'm sure that things will get better once I get back in to the swing of things. Its a completely different atmosphere there since there is only person left that I worked with before. Everyone else is new to me, so I'm glad that Kelly and I get along SO well. I'm quickly getting to know everyone else's personalities and they're getting to know me and my sense of humor... it won't be long till I'm causing problems again! If I have to work, I have to be able to have fun, so they're going to have to get used to it!

So now its time to figure out when and how I'm going to get everything else done, like grocery shopping, laundry and cleaning up. My family time is important, so I don't want to spend every night doing chores, and I don't want to save it all for the weekends. I'll just have to figure out a happy medium, as well as some time for me. This weekend I'm going to see The Pursuit of Happyness, so I'm really looking forward to that. All I know is that I'm going to be very busy for the next little bit.

Till next time... because I have no idea when that will be, but I'll try to make it soon :)
