First Day Back and updates

So it was a bit painful I must admit- going back to work. I was doing okay until Jonathan put the phone to Tristans ear so I could say hi and I heard him make some noise and I started to cry. However my co-workers were super nice and it was for the most part a day of reading emails. So nothing really crazy. I just absolutely miss my kids even more than I thought possible, and so my coping mechanism at the moment is just try to not think about someone else being with him. Denial- it helps a bit. Cindi, Jonathans mom, is the one helping us out by watching Tristan for a few days each week( then my sister one day a week) and I guess the day went well for her. Tristan didnt sleep but at least he didnt cry for her. I am so grateful for her willingness to help us...it will make the transition to daycare in a few weeks a bit easier, and its comforting to know that Tristan is with someone that loves him.

Last night after work we went to my sisters house for a dinner/celebration for my Dads birthday. I really enjoyed visting with everyone, and dispite a screaming child due to lack of sleep, some trampoline accidents with Elijah and Syliah, I think the night was a success. ( Sorry Dad for the craziness with the kids!) I always enjoy getting together and catching up.

Other news is that my other sister Raegan has found a place to live in Indiana. I cant even begin to explain the drama and problems with finding a house. They have been in and out of hotels with 4 kids and two of them in school and I know that for Raegan this last month or so has been a nightmare. So this is great news and I hope that they will get settled and things will go better now that they have a place to live.

Other than that - our lives are back it seems to the insane schedules and running around. I didnt get my daily run in, but its okay...over the last 3 weeks Ive been able to do so and a day off wont kill me.( I think the heat will though- our air conditioner isnt working! )
