Well, today concluded Week 1 of "school" for the girls. I'm surprised by how well they really did do, and I also realize I was too focused on how they would do AT school, I never realized what life would be like AFTER school. This morning went alright again. We were all up, ready and out the door right on time again. Amelia started crying right away when we got in the door...but while Olivia and I hung up her coat, one of the teachers got Amelia calmed down and was rocking her. Olivia actually started crying this morning, for the first time. I think more because she was really tired, and there was only one other little boy there when I dropped them off, and she didn't like that. Girls!

Work was good. This week has been pretty stressful at work....between dealing with this new daycare transition and having that occupy my mind, it seemed like everything I've been working on at work is just one problem after another lately. Nothing is easy anymore, nothing runs smoothly. Some days I just want to pull my hair out! The days have been going fast though, so I suppose there is a silver lining.

Today I got my walk in at work, a pretty tough workout in when I got home. My diet has been going really well, so far in the month and a half I've been going at this, I've only exceeded my calories once, so I'm super proud of that. My whole diet has changed though, and I'm feeling really good about it. I do feel like I have more energy lately, and just feel better all around. Nervous and excited for tomorrow's weigh in!

Tonight went about the same as the rest of the week. We all arrived home at the same time. Olivia was very well behaved tonight, so that was good. Amelia went through her whole crying/throwing a fit thing for a while, but not ALL night, so that was progress. After baths and a little play time, they were off to bed. VERY exhausted, and I'm sure tomorrow will be a nice, relaxing break for them.

Here is a picture of the girls, kicking back and enjoying a reward for their great first week of school :)
