My new life

I've had lots of thoughts and feelings as my new life of a child in school has begun. Eliza started Kindergarten this year and we are still adjusting to the new schedule of bus stops and early mornings. I am torn between the enjoyment of the break of one less child in the morning and the loss of time with Eliza and wondering what she is doing, saying, hearing, learning while she is away. I hope that she has learned enough at home to make good choices while she is away. She is very happy and making lots of new friends and enjoys having her buddy Freyja close.

The other part of my new life is that I actually get to be by myself during the day sometimes. Adaline is in Joy school, so about 6 days a month I have a morning to myself while Isaac sleeps. This is precious time and I am again torn. Do I relax and do something I enjoy, or do I clean as much as I can while I have less help? I guess today I did a little of both.

I love all the updates and pictures. Eliza's shorter hair is soo cute. Is she enjoying kindergarten? Is it half day? Laela is full day for first grade this year and it is still a bit of an adjustment. We are doing joy school 2 mornings a week this year with Ivy and she loves it. I've been teaching the first unit - joy of the body and I just have one class left to teach. Then I don't teach again until Feb. Still no news on our final destination - no job yet...

Life is going too quickly - I'm staying up so late at night just thinking - there's not enough time! Luckily I still have a year until I'm in your shoes - let me know what works:)
