DAY 102 - January 3, 2017 - Three Good Things

Today was the first day back to work for both Jeff and I. It was also the first day that our boys went to a new babysitter. Big day.

1. Everything went very smoothly for the first day at the babysitter's. I wasn't super stressed but I was  certainly a little worried about how it would go. Would Grayson cry when we left him there? Would he be upset all day? Would he nap for her? I wasn't worried about my Carter; he's my little social butterfly.

When we got there, they both happily went right into the house and started playing. Ashley (the babysitter) and Jeff and I discussed a few things and when we said goodbye to the boys, they barely cared enough to come over and give us hugs. Immediately, this put me at ease. Ashley was kind enough to update me in the afternoon. Both boys did well and Gray even napped for her.

I have a good feeling about this change in our lives and, though I do miss Judy (our previous sitter), I think this might turn out to be a good change for the boys.

2. My day at work was productive, in spite of how tired I was. I didn't sleep well last night. I think that the messed up sleep schedules that we adopted during our week off was the culprit. Either way, a good day at work is a good day at work.

3. Picking up the boys from the sitter is always the best. I missed them today, so having them squeal and nearly knock us over with their hugs was awesome. Our evening was pretty flawless. I got the kitchen cleaned before even getting the little monsters into bed, so once bedtime was done, I had nothing I felt obligated to do. I'm caught up on laundry and the kitchen. Those things are never done at the same time. Because I was so caught up, I sat my ass on the couch to watch The Bachelor. It was relaxing and guilt-free tv watching. I don't watch a ton of TV these days, but the Bachelor is Nick and, well, he's delicious. DE-LIC-IOUS.

And with that, I'm off to bed to read.
