Lovely

Lovely morning, today I spent my morning cleaning and doing laundry and spending time with my family before I head into work.

My boss went out of her way to tell me I am doing a great job, which made me feel good.  I am getting through this by telling myself that I doing this to get our family in a better place.  It isn't forever, and it is something I am doing for us.  And at least I am good at it.

The Thing Is

So here's the thing about being back at work.  I am good at it.  It is getting better.

I don't like leaving for work when my kids are having an issue.  And they always seem to have an issue in the last half hour before I leave.

The kids are getting used to it, but they have let me know that they don't like me being gone.  I am glad that they can let me know, but it does make me feel a little bad.

Growing

Our experiment with growing things has been going pretty well.  Right after I started working, they started to wilt because I was too overwhelmed to pay them much mind.  But I am at the point where I can remember to check on them and water them.

When I get a chance, I will transplant them.  I really have no idea what I am doing, but for the most part, the plants don't seem to mind my complete inexperience.
