I have a full time job that I love, an apartment that I am grateful for, and such a beautiful crew.
I always have an abundance of energy. I can function, with clarity, on little sleep. Although, my new schedule is testing me. ;) I work from 2-11pm about 5 days a week. I get home at about 11:30 and end up cleaning the apartment and taking the dogs out. I usually get to bed around 12:30 or 1 in the morning only to wake up at 6 and get the kiddos fed, dressed, and ready for school. We pack lunches and try to clean up before we leave. Their school is a good 45 min to an hour away from our apartment.
I know I could take them to the nearest public school, but that doesn't feel good to me. We have a community at their school in the mountains. The kids have learned to knit, to garden , to play violin, and have freedom to make choices. I am grateful they are, and have been, at this school we love and cherish.
Right now I have to pick them up early so I can make it to work on time. The older ones watch my younger ones while I am working. Not ideal, but needed for now. They are bummed about it and want me to get situated so they can stay all week, for full school days. I am working on getting daycare set up... that is my next goal.
Life is getting settled and I am grateful for the stability.... a little tired, but I got this. I know we are a strong enough family unit to attain that next goal... and the next, and the next. ;)
