I'm singing the song from "Billy Madison" in my head right now - in case you were wondering. (and I don't know how to stop this stupid thing from underlining all my words, so deal with it :) ).
Well, last week I started back at work and what a week it was!
I'll give you a run-down:
Monday: Daycare lady called to say her son was sick. I was on the phone on my entire drive to work trying to figure out if we should bring the kids to daycare anyway. It was decided (with opinions from many, many people) that they will be exposed to germs at some point, so we should get it over with.
At school, the Principals didn't know who I was, what I was there for, or who I was replacing. Not a single person said hi to me (ok, maybe one person did), and in fact most people looked at me like I was crazy.
Tuesday: Slightly better. The boys LOVED daycare and Andrew started sitting up all on his own!! I went out to eat with my old college roomies (from the pink house) and got some sweet Christmas garland from Molly's mom's stash of garage sale items (Thanks, T. Heinz!).
Wednesday: Late night at work - we had open house and LOTS of high school kids were there (which really surprised me). I got a phone call around 4:00 that Andrew had a fever and both boys were sick. Awesome. Adam had to go and pick them up, while I stayed at work. When I got home, I checked on them and heard their snoring throughout the house (because of the stuffy noses).
Thursday: I was planning on staying home, but we called for reinforcements in case the babes wanted some one-on-one time (because they were sick and all). Grandma Judy came to visit for the day, and the boys were doing great, so I went to work after a little while. I felt like a terrible mother, but I didn't want to use my sick time up when they really didn't NEED me to be there.
Friday: The day off. I dropped the boys off with Grandma Judy and Grandpa Don for an overnight visit (the first one). We had a wedding and then went to pick the boys up on Saturday and made salsa all day.
Today, in case you were wondering, Adam and I watched Ghost Hunters on tv all day long. Yes, ALL DAY LONG. Tomorrow I have to go back to school - which did get better by the way, once people noticed that yes, I really do work there. :)

"I can't wait 'til I go to hike school" - another Billy Madison quote.
You need to leave that stuck up school and come home to Pinewood where you are loved ane appriciated! Kristen Klinnert is missed!!! :)
"Mr. Madison, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
