Back to school

It’s been an exciting week around here! Ben started Kindergarten last Thursday, and Ellie started preschool today.

The kids have been home with me since covid started. I don’t regret that decision. I was immunocompromised and it was a pandemic. So we kept the kids home. But it was so hard. I was with them All. The. Time.

Now I finally have some time. Three mornings a week. It’s unbelievable really lol. This morning I went to Target to walk around. Just for fun. Because I COULD. (I may have bought a decorative pumpkin or two. You really can’t have too many cute pumpkins).

There’s a million things I need and want to do during the time Ellie’s in school. But I’m resisting the urge to try to catch up on everything all at once. So I’m proud of myself. I took some time to rest this morning. Watch TV. Drink coffee. It was amazing.

Moms aren’t good at taking “me time” or self care time. I’m really bad at it. But I’m working on it!

Now I’m going to pick up Ellie and I’m so excited to see her and see how the first day went. 😊
