Today was my first day on my own at my new job.
I know it seems pretty early to be going to work after having a baby just 2 weeks ago but it was time.
I have 2 bosses and so far the older one is proving to be a little more demanding than the other at about 2pm and again around 5pm.
They are super cute though. 🙂
Today I started my journey as a stay-at-home-mom.
I would say my first day went pretty well.
-Abigail woke up at 8 and we ate cereal while Elsie slept.
-We all got dressed to go to Elsie’s 2-week check-up and Abigail helped me by grabbing last minute things like shoes, jackets & the diaper bag while I fed Elsie.
-We made it out the door & to Elsie’s appointment on time.
-No toddlers ran away from me in the parking lot.
-We arrived home and Abigail & I worked on an art project while Elsie napped.
-A friend stopped over for a few minutes and was greeted by a mostly clean house, a mostly behaved toddler & a cute baby.
-Abigail had a meltdown when I asked her to use the potty before her nap. We tried to work through it and I finally just put her to bed thinking I would have to wash her sheets later. She woke up dry.
-All three of us napped at the same time today and we all woke up after Terry got home from work.
-We had chili that I put in the freezer about 5 weeks ago for supper. It was a recipe I had never tried before and we all enjoyed it. I split it into 2 gallon freezer bags and one of them would be enough for 4-5 adults. Terry is bringing some to work for lunch and then we have another meal of chili ready to go for later in the week.
I am glad my first day went well. I know every day won’t be productive or I won’t feel motivated to write a blog post about how it all went but today was a good day.
Today’s lesson learned: Naptime is a wonderful time of day.
LOL. Yes naptime is a wonderful time of day. I love you and am glad to see things went mostly well. Great job Jessica.
So glad to hear things are going well. Thinking of you from all the way here in AZ!
