An Easy Day

Today has been an easy day so far. I don't know what it'll be like when I return to work from lunch, but before lunch it was great.

I had only one baby the entire morning, and she slept for 3 hours! Adam, my oldest, is home with pink eye and Maya apparently is with her dad, so that just left little Jessa for me to care for. She was asleep when I arrived at work and didn't stir until I left for lunch at 11. Actually, she probably could've slept longer but I decided to get her up because she hadn't eaten anything since 5:30 am and I knew she was hungry. She wolfed down that 6 oz. bottle my co-worker gave her and wanted some more! I suspect Maya will be there when I go back but it'll still be nice just having the two girls.

While Jessa was asleep I got to clean my room. Believe it or not, cleaning was really nice. I didn't realize how much stuff I needed to clear out until I started doing it. That's one of the drawbacks of being the only teacher in a classroom. You get so caught up in caring for the babies that your room suffers. It's really hard to see to the needs of four--oops! I mean three-- babies and keep your room clean and well decorated at the same time. I'm trying to get fall/Halloween decorations going in my room but I can't find the time to do them the way I really want to, and I hate to settle for something half-assed. So I really appreciate little Jessa letting my have some time this morning to at least get a start on the cleaning/decorating.

Thank you, Jessa!
