First Day Back

Quick Post to say that our adventure into daycare did not go as smoothly as I had wished.  Ellie cried and did not want me to leave her this morning.  I am hopeful that tomorrow goes better, and she enjoys playing with others.  I know that she needs to get accustomed to others, but it is so hard when I just want to snuggle with her.  I was glad to see several people that I work with and hope that this great school year.  On a positive note, we found that we were named as one of the best public schools in America by Newsweek.  Hopefully a better day will follow.

Last Week of Summer

I can't believe that I am writing this post, but we are in the last week of summer before I start school back on the 17th.  Last year at this time I wrote that I was kinda of sad not to be starting school - that would not be the case this time around.  I hate the thought of Ellie being in daycare all day.  I love spending my day with her.  We play and really just enjoy being together.  She has grown so much in the past year.  Ellie is such the little toddler now - running and playing all over the place.  I hope that she adjust and enjoys getting to play with the other kids, and I also hope that I adjust to the new schedule.  It is my goal to leave work and bring no school work with me 90% of the time.  I will report back after the first month to see how I am doing on that goal.

So how are spending our last weekend?  We started on Friday with going to a consignment sale for kids clothes.  I found a couple of pieces for winter.  I bought 24 months, and I hope that those are the sizes.  Ellie now wears either 12 months or 18 months depending on the outfit.  I bought a new brand Sweet Potatoes.  I love what I saw in the cateloge for this brand and hope that Ellie will look super cute this winter in these outfits.  The remainder of the weekend we plan to clean, laundry, and just hang out before the craziness of the year starts.  I will post later on the drama that goes with working in a high school, and no its not always the kids.
Here is a picture of Ellie to make this post worth reading.
