I'm working on it...

Before school even started, I made sure I would have time for lesson planning and time for my first job...mom. Unfortunately, for a first time teacher there are A LOT of things I wasn't planning on. Last week, I started coaching basketball too. Thankfully, I'm at a small school, so I only practice twice a week for an hour and a half. My mom has to pick up the boys. When I left practice at a little after 5 last Monday, I headed straight to her house to see them. This was the scene: First, they cried because they weren't ready to leave Nana's. Then, Tanner tells me he likes it when Nana picks him up because then they're not the last ones at daycare. Are you kidding me? I feel like the worst mother ever! Yes, I've noticed they get to daycare before other kids, and there aren't many there when I pick them up, but I have to be to work earlier than most other parents. I mean really, who works just 8 to 5 anymore? Every parent at my boys' daycare apparently!!! All I can say is I'm working on it because it breaks my heart to hear my child notice that he's the first one dropped off and the last one picked up :(

I totally feel your pain here. I used to have such a long commute that my kids were always first and last. Just think of all the time you'll get to spend with them during the Christmas break and over the summer!
