Anyway, we got back Saturday night. I watched the end of the women's marathon - AWESOME, and Phelps - unfreakingbelievable! So very cool to be able to say he is from Maryland.
Sunday we did the groceries, pool, unpacked, laundry, prepare for pre-school, etc. Plus I started back eating well and excercising which brings me to the post title and my Monday.
- Alarm goes off at 5am- because the next few weeks are crazy in terms of schedule. And I want to excercise and this is the only time I figure I can do it.
- I jump out of bed, get changed, and head outside with my iPod.
- It is freaking pitch black dark. Remember, Maine is further south so at 5am it wasn't that dark.
- I walk a little ways and remember that there are no lights on my road and it is kinda freaky so jump back in bed.
- Get up at 6, shower, start blowing drying hair.
- This is when my morning really starts.
- When the WASP gets tangled in my hair (flipped upside down) and stings me twice in the freaking neck right under my ear.
- And it hurts. It really hurts.
- Scream for Doug. He comes up, grabs a credit card and scrapes my neck and tells me to make a paste from Baking Soda and water while he battles the wasp in my bathroom.
- And it hurts. It really hurts.
- I make the paste too runny and run out of Baking Soda but manage to get some on and it does help.
- And it hurts. It really hurts.
- Doug gets the wasp, comes and puts some stuff on my sting
- Then I get the girls dressed, Doug gets them breakfast. I pack my new laptop bag, I pack up all of the stuff Aubrey needs for the first day of her new school, pack my healthy lunch, and get going - ON TIME!
Then I have to go to work. Well, after dropping Molly off and hearing her say, "Where sister go" and having my heart break. Then dropping Aubrey off at her new school - which I don't even get a hug good-bye, and then crying when I thought I wasn't going to be emotional at all.
And now I am at work, eating my healthy lunch and trying to figure out how I get a walk/run in tonight...
An Aside: And really what I want to know is, how do working women do it all? How do I figure out how to get all of my work done - which right now really requires 60 hours per week -get my kids where they need to go with in service days, half days, plus the Carnival at Aubrey's school this week, and LIFE?!?!

I only do it with lots of help from my MIL and running at 4:30 am. And even then....
I hope the sting is feeling better!
Oh, that sounds awful! I hate wasps!!! I hope your neck is feeling better.Even as a SAHM I feel overwhelmed with all the things, we as women, are supposed to do. I can't even imagine adding a job on top of it all. You're amazing!
Remember the days when you weren't sure how to get ONE child to daycare and get yourself to work?? You'll adapt, I know you will...and probably faster than most others :-)
Emily - I thought I had a hard day...Thanks for the support during my going back to work adjustment. I hope Aubrey loved her first day of school.
That wasp thing could have never happened on a Wednesday, that is TOTALLY a Monday situation!
Sounds horrible.
I'm having some school anxiety, I can't believe I have a kid in junior high. And over the summer, he grew enough to look me in the eye. It's freaking me out. A LOT.
I think that the title was completely appropriate!!! We do it because it needs to be done and you know..... (well, crap, can't use that excuse since you married a REAL man).
