I haven't worked full time in nine years, so getting used to a whole new routine, working all day, and still taking care of the house and family when I get home is a whole new ball game for me. I am struggling and persevering, but it is hard.
I am so tired. But I hate to go to bed at night in some ways, because the only time I have to really breathe and relax all day is that little window of time between when the kids go to be and when I have to go to bed. It drives me nuts when they don't go right to sleep and come out to the living room to ask us questions, and so forth. I just want to savor that little bit of time! In the morning, I'd love to have a quiet breakfast with no distractions, but most days my Little Guy is up and at 'em before I even get out of the bathroom after I shower!
Things are compounded by the graduate class I am taking. It is good, and it is only one day a week, but I need to be better about getting my reading done before class, etc. I'm sure it will be a good class and I'll get a lot out of it, but in many ways I wish I wasn't taking it.
Things will get better, and I will figure out how to juggle things eventually, but at least I like my job so far. The people I work with are great, and it makes me so grateful to know that my children go to this school and are able to have this education.

You'll get there, just don't fall into the caffeine trap like the rest of us! Heck, even me, who doesn't leave the house at an ungodly hour has to have a cup of coffee/hotcoco mix to get through school.
I am happy that you feel happy with the school. That is a good thing. And your kids are very lucky to have you there.
